Make Cranberry Pistachio Chocolate Bark for a Sweet Holiday Gift

By Phoebe Melnick

Every night before I go to sleep I have to eat chocolate. Sometimes it’s a handful of chocolate chips, other times it’s a whole Hershey’s bar. But now that I’m kind of an adult, I’m attempting to eat healthier so I’ve switched it up to this super easy and, I think nutritious, dark chocolate bark. You can top it with whatever nuts or dried fruit you want, I went with dried cranberries and pistachios. This bark also looks super fancy so you can make it for your friends and it is sure to impress.
