Ingredients

1/2 cup walnuts
16 ounces very good white chocolate, finely chopped
1/4 cup dried cranberries
1/4 cup medium-diced apricots

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Using a pencil, draw an 8 by 10-inch rectangle on a piece of parchment paper placed on a sheet pan. Turn the parchment paper over so the pencil mark doesn't get into the chocolate.

Place the walnuts in 1 layer on another sheet pan and bake for 8 minutes. Set aside to cool and then chop roughly into large pieces.

Place 3/4 of the chocolate in a glass bowl and place it in the microwave on high power for 30 seconds. (Don't trust your microwave timer - time it with your watch.) Stir with a rubber spatula. Put it back in the microwave for another 30 seconds and stir again. Continue to heat and stir every 30 seconds until the chocolate is just melted. Immediately, add the remaining chocolate and allow it to sit at room temperature, stirring often, until it's completely smooth. (If you need to heat it a little more, place it in the microwave for another 15 seconds at a time.)

Pour the melted chocolate onto the parchment paper and spread it lightly into the drawn rectangle. Sprinkle the top evenly with the cooled walnuts, the cranberries and apricots. Set aside for at least 2 hours until firm, or refrigerate for 20 minutes. Cut the bark in 16 pieces and serve at room temperature.

Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I have just finished making my second batch in three days! I LOVE THIS CANDY!!! The way all the ingredients come together is... like WOW! Thank you Mrs. Garten Happy New Year everyone! PS... Not sure why Megan thought this was slightly difficult but maybe I didn't see it that way because I was excited to make it.Read more

healthy, easy recipe but slight difficulty
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I loved the ease of this recipe, and the rich color of the walnuts, white chocolate, and dried fruit. The only thing I had... difficulty with were the walnuts...they seemed to fall off quite easily once the bark dried. Other than this slight issue (they all didn't fall off, just some), this is a keeper for the recipe book!Read more

Easy and delicious, but melts fast
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

This recipe was easy to make and turned out beautifully. I also used dark chocolate and dates...the varieties are endless.... The only problem is that the bark melts on the fingers really easily. Serve with napkins!Read more
