Time 30m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

3 cups cranberries (one 12-ounce bag)
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup orange juice
Finely grated rind of one orange
Pinch of salt
1 to 2 tablespoons orange liqueur, like Grand Marnier (optional)

Tips:

  • For a richer flavor, use dark chocolate instead of semi-sweet chocolate.
  • To make the bark even more crunchy, add chopped nuts or toffee bits before the chocolate hardens.
  • If you don't have a candy thermometer, you can test the sugar syrup by dropping a small amount into a cup of cold water. If the syrup forms a soft ball, it is ready.
  • Be careful not to overcook the sugar syrup, as it will become too hard and brittle.
  • Let the bark cool completely before breaking it into pieces.
  • Store the bark in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks.
