Tips:

  • Use fresh or frozen cranberries. Fresh cranberries are best, but frozen cranberries can also be used. If using frozen cranberries, thaw them before using.
  • Chop the nuts finely. This will help them distribute evenly throughout the bark.
  • Use a good quality chocolate. The chocolate is the main ingredient in this recipe, so it's important to use a good quality chocolate that you enjoy the taste of.
  • Don't overcook the chocolate. Overcooked chocolate will be thick and difficult to spread. Cook the chocolate over low heat, stirring constantly, until it is just melted.
  • Let the bark cool completely before cutting it. This will help the bark to set properly and prevent it from crumbling.
