Pistachio Cranberry Bark
“This bark is divine!” writes Susan Wacek of Pleasanton, California. “I was quick to ask for the recipe after tasting it at a holiday cookie/candy exchange.
“For a lovely gift, fill a plate or cup with bark, gather up clear cellophane around it and tie with red and green satin ribbons. Friends and family will appreciate your thoughtfulness.”
