Fruit and Nut Bark (Apricots, Almonds, Cranberries & Ginger) image

At the end of each holiday season I have a canister of cookie ingredients leftover. From that comes a collection of candies used to accent my trays. This year's bark was sensational and well worth posting. The combination of ginger and dark chocolate bursts in your mouth with every delectable bite. While the flavors here are complex and more sophisticated than my usual bark, but just wonderful year round.

Time 20m

Yield 16 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 (11 ounce) bag semi-sweet chocolate chips (or used chopped bars)
1 (4 ounce) bar dark chocolate (or use chips, the darker the better)
1/2 cup whole almond, toasted
1/4 cup dried cranberries
1/2 cup dried apricot, cut into slivers or large bites
1/4 cup candied ginger, cut into slivers or small bites

Steps:

  • Melt chocolate in a large double-boiler over just simmering water until barely melted. You want to avoid needing to re-temper the chocolate.
  • Stir in the fruits and nuts. Pour out onto a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper.
  • Let cool completely. Break into pieces and serve.
