Ingredients
- 24 oz almond bark, vanilla
- 1/2 cup dried cranberries
- 1/2 cup sliced almonds
- 2 oz chocolate almond bark
Instructions
- Start by adding the sliced almonds to a skillet over medium heat. Give them a light spray of oil and sauté them while stirring frequently. Keep an eye on them! They’ll toast quickly, and you want them just barely brown. Once they’re toasted to perfection, remove them from the skillet and set them aside to cool completely.
- While the almonds cool, line a baking sheet or a large cutting board with a generous sheet of parchment paper.
- Grab a microwave-safe bowl and melt that creamy vanilla almond bark according to the package instructions.
- Once melted, pour it onto your prepared parchment paper and spread it out evenly. Aim for a consistent thickness for that perfect bark texture!
- Before the melted bark cools and hardens, sprinkle those beautiful dried cranberries and your toasted almonds all over the top.
- In another bowl, melt the chocolate almond bark using the same method as before. Once it’s melted, let it cool for about 3 minutes. This cooling step is crucial—it helps prevent the chocolate from sliding off the bark when you drizzle it.
- Now for the artistic part! Use a small whisk or spoon to drizzle the melted chocolate generously across the surface of your bark. Get creative with your design!
- Set your masterpiece aside to let the chocolate drizzle cool and harden. Once everything is nice and cool, gently break the bark into pieces that are about 3-5 inches in size. You can make them as big or small as you like!
