Cranberry Cashew Chocolate Bark
By: Sydney Mike
Mar 14, 2008
Looking for a candy combo of chocolate, cranberry & cashew I caem across this recipe at candy.about.com, & it suited my needs perfectly! However, if your situation includes the bark sitting around a long time in warm temperatures, it's suggested that 'real' chopped chocolate be used & tempered so that it won't melt in the heat!
SERVES 20
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips, divided
- 1 1/2 cups white chocolate chips, divided
- 2/3 cup dried cranberries, divided
- 2/3 cup cashews, toasted, salted, coarsely chopped, divided
Directions
1
Line a 13"x9" rimmed baking sheet with heavy duty aluminum foil.2
In a small bowl, place 1/4 cup semi-sweet chips, 1/4 cup white chips, 1/3 cup cranberries & 1/3 cup chopped cashews, & set aside.3
In a medium microwave-safe bowl, place remaining 1 1/4 cups semi-sweet chips, & microwave until chips are melted, stirring after every 45 seconds to prevent overheating.4
When semi-sweet chips are melted, stir in remaining 1/3 cup cranberries & remaining 1/3 cup chopped cashews.5
Pour this chocolate mixture onto prepared baking sheet, using a spatula or knife to spread the chunky chocolate mixture into as thin a layer as possible, trying to cover most of the surface of the baking sheet.6
In another microwave-safe bowl, place remaining 1 1/4 cups white chocolate chips, & microwave until chips are melted, stirring after 45 seconds to prevent overheating.7
Once white chocolate has melted, drop by spoonfuls evenly over chocolate on baking sheet. Use tip of knife to swirl white chocolate through semi-sweet chocolate, being CAREFUL NOT TO SWIRL TOO MUCH & MUDDY THE COLORS. When finished, there should be distinct swirls of brown & white throughout the candy.8
While chocolate is still wet, sprinkle reserved chips, fruit & nuts evenly over the top, pressing gently to affix them in melted chocolate.9
Place baking sheet in refrigerator to set chocolate, about 30 minutes.10
Once firm, peel candy away from foil, & break candy into small pieces.11
Store bark in airtight container for up to a week in the refrigerator.

UMMMMMMM-AZING! My daughters and I just snitched pieces of this from the fridge & found it's not quite hard enough yet to break all of it up yet, but mmmmm was it good! I didn't quite spread the first layer thin enough, so it's pretty thick. It looked so thin, until I went to add the white chocolate...oops! I would add more cranberries and nuts to the topping. This would also be good with toasted slivered almonds, which I almost ended up doing, until I found my cashews! I'm filing this recipe away for Christmas gifts. We like to give away baskets of homemade cookies and holiday treats. I think this will replace one of my fudge recipes this year! I did use the white confectionary coating for the melted white chips, because I had some on hand, and it tends to melt better without burning than the chips. I also added a little oil to the chocolate chips to give the final product a little gloss, like the confectionary coating would have. I also used about 1/2 cup more semi-sweet chocolate chips than called for. Made for please review my recipe game.

I'm so glad I finally know how to make these delicious chocolate barks. Love everything in it, the fruity cranberry and the salted cashews balancing the sweetness of the chocolates. The toppings seem to have covered the white marbled effect I made which was fine as DH tasted it and said "this is good!" wanting to bring everything with him! Thanks for sharing this!

You can't really go wrong with these ingredients! Loved the nuts and cranberries with the chocolate. The semi sweet balanced out the very sweet white chocolate. Yum! Reviewed during ZWT 4.
