“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.”

This is wonderful! I don't toast the Pistachios and I've used chocolate candy coating (the real milk chocolate or dark chocolate). Also, I've used Ghiradelli 60% Cacao Bittersweet Chips...indulgent!)

So easy and so tasty - the pistachios, cranberries, and chocolate together are great! This recipe is a must make every year!

I made a candy tray as a dessert for a dinner party last night. This bark was the hit of the evening. Several guests asked for the recipe. Will make this again over the holidays. Just wish that pistachios weren't so darn expensive.

I just made this recipe for the first time and it turned out beautiful and delicious. I used dark chocolate candy coating (almond bark) instead of the semisweet chocolate chips, and that worked out just fine.

WOW! Fast, easy, decadent and elegant. I made this for teacher gifts, and now have to make a batch for my husband and family. Fantastic. I used white chocolate wafers instead of the candy coating and it was great.

I have made this for the holdiays for many years. White almond bark works just as good as white chocolate, the cranberries and pistachio's look even more festive on the white. Every one loves this in ther baskets.

This recipe was in my first TOH magazine, and I haven't tried it until this past Christmas, and I sure have been missing out. It was SO delicious! I made it with white chocolate chips, instead of candy coating, and it still turned out great. I loved the combination of pistachios and cranberries together. My husband and I loved it so much, I made it twice during the Christmas season. It's really hard for me to limit myself to a couple pieces at a time. I plan on making this every Christmas season. So good!

It should be kept cool - too warm and the chocolate will get sticky. I usually do leave mine in the fridge but only because I don't have a back porch or a pantry that is cooler than the kitchen or dining room. It won't spoil - the texture just changes a little. It is great to give as gifts - maybe wrap the bark separately so the receivers could put that little part in the fridge until ready to eat. Enjoy.

Why does this have to be stored in the refrigerator? Doesn't seem like there is anything in this to spoil at normal room temperature. I plan to make this tomorrow and would like to give some as gifts -- do I have to tell them it has to be refrigerated?

This is a beautiful recipe and one that works out very, very well. My family loves it and as a result, I make it, then hide it, so we have some for Christmas.

I made two batches of this...I used Ghirardelli 60% cacao bittersweet chocolate - YUMMY! I ate most of it!

HiCandy coating is much like white chocolate (white chocolate might work...and have cocoa in it where coating is not as good - my opinion). I have not made this yet, but I will be making it!
