Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Using a pencil, draw an 8-by-10-inch rectangle on a piece of parchment paper. Turn the parchment paper over so the pencil mark doesn't get onto the chocolate and place it on a sheet pan.
- Place the pistachios in one layer on another sheet pan and bake for 8 minutes. Set aside to cool.
- Place three quarters of the white chocolate in a heat-proof glass bowl and put it in the microwave on high for 30 seconds. (Time it with your watch for accuracy.) Stir the chocolate with a rubber spatula, return it to the microwave for another 30 seconds, then stir again. Continue to heat and stir in 30-second intervals until the chocolate is just melted. Immediately stir in the remaining chocolate and allow it to sit at room temperature, stirring often, until it's completely smooth. (If you need to heat it a little more, place it in the microwave for another 15 seconds.)
- Pour the melted chocolate onto the parchment paper and spread it lightly to fill the drawn rectangle. Sprinkle the top evenly with the cooled pistachios, the cranberries, and apricots. Press the nuts and fruit lightly so they will set in the chocolate. Set aside for at least 2 hours until firm or refrigerate for 20 minutes. Cut or break the bark in 16 pieces and serve at room temperature.
PISTACHIO CRANBERRY BARK
I picked up this bark recipe at a Christmas sweets swap hosted by a woman in my Bible study group. My family, friends and I think it's just divine. Even my dad, who's not big on candy, loves it. -Susan Wacek, Pleasanton, California

WHITE CHOCOLATE BARK WITH PISTACHIOS AND DRIED CRANBERRIES
Steps:
- Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment.
- Put 9 ounces of the chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring well between each, until just melted. Stir in the remaining 3 ounces chocolate and let stand 3 minutes. Stir until completely smooth. If there are still some lumps, microwave in 15-second intervals, stirring well after each, to melt any remaining chocolate, but take care not to heat more than necessary.
- Pour the chocolate onto the parchment and gently spread to a thickness of 1/4 inch. Sprinkle the pistachios and cranberries on top, pressing very lightly so they adhere. Sprinkle with the flaky salt.
- Refrigerate until set, about 20 minutes. Break into pieces and keep refrigerated until ready to serve.
