Cherry-Pistachio Crunch Bark
November 28th, 2017
This terrifically flavorful, colorful bark is ideal for holiday gift giving. You can break it into shards and place in small boxes between layers of parchment paper or wax paper, or pack them in plastic bags and tie the top with a ribbon. The chocolate here is not tempered, meaning that it should be refrigerated to firm up and may not stay firm if left for long periods at warm temperatures, so it’s best to refrigerate it for storage.
Ingredients
1 pound bittersweet chocolate
3/4 cup cocoa-flavored puffed rice cereal
Zest of 1 large orange
2/3 cup shelled pistachios
2/3 cup coarsely chopped dried sweetened cherries
Method
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In the top of a double boiler, melt chocolate over simmering water, stirring frequently. Remove from heat and stir in puffed rice. Pour mixture onto parchment paper and spread with a rubber spatula until it is about 1/3-inch thick. Sprinkle with zest first, then with pistachios and cherries. Lift the pan an inch off the table and drop it once or twice to settle toppings into chocolate. Allow to cool slightly, then refrigerate until chocolate has hardened, about 1 hour. Break the bark into chunks and store in the refrigerator.
