CRANBERRY NUT BARK
1 cup dried cranberries 3/4 cup toasted diced pecans 2 2/3 cups chopped semisweet or bittersweet chocolate, melted 2 2/3 cups chopped white chocolate, melted
Toss cranberries and pecans together and set them aside.
Melt dark choc and spread into on to an 8 x 12" oval on parchment paper. (I draw the outline of the oval on the underside of the parchment paper so I can see it when I lay down the chocolate but the ink or pencil doesn't touch the candy.)
Allow choc to set, but not harden completely.
Melt the white choc and mix it with about 3/4 cups of cranberries and pecans.
Spread this over the dark choc.
Sprinkle the rest of the nuts and fruit on top, pressing them in gently.
Allow the candy to cool until hardened, then break it into chunks.
