Pistachio Cranberry Bark

This Pistachio Cranberry Bark is a perfect Christmas candy recipe. Bark is the easiest homemade candy you will ever make. You can make many different varieties of Christmas candy with this one easy recipe.

I love making bark candy during the holidays. As I’ve mentioned it is one of the easiest Christmas candies to make. You only need a few ingredients like candy bark or chocolate chips and whatever toppings you would like to add.

Last year I made a Nestles Jingle Bark for homemade holiday gifts using Nestle candy.  I also made an Easy Peppermint Bark recipe using peppermint flavored toppings and a beautiful Blue & White Christmas Bark that is perfect for Christmas or Hanukkah

So far this Pistachio Cranberry Bark is my favorite. I love the way the dried cranberries and pistachio nuts taste with the white chocolate bark.
