Fruit and Nut Chocolate Bark

The two Fruit and Nut Chocolate Bark recipes below are terrific make ahead desserts or gifts for Passover and other Jewish holidays. Use your favorite type of chocolate whether semi sweet, milk or white and feel free to replace nuts and fruits according to your taste preferences. Most of the ingredients below are available for Passover.

Make sure to melt milk and white chocolate according to package directions to avoid 'seizing'. You will need enough chocolate to fill a baking sheet.

Ingredients for Fruit and Nut Bark:

  • 2 - 12 oz. packages of chocolate morsels or Passover chocolate chips or baking chocolate (dark, milk or white) (you will need about 4 - 4 1/2 cups chocolate chips)
  • 1 cup flaked coconut
  • 1 cup pistachios, shelled and cut into pieces
  • 1 cup dried cranberries
Place a layer of wax paper on a baking sheet. Melt chocolate according to package directions. Stir in coconut, pistachios and dried cranberries.

Drop the mixture by spoonfuls and spread a thin layer over the wax paper. Refrigerate at least 1 hour and break into pieces.

Makes 1 ½ pounds.

Dark Sour Cherry Ginger Crunch (Pareve):

  • 1 ½ cups walnut halves or pecans
  • 2 (12-ounce) packages bittersweet chocolate, finely chopped
  • 1 cup dried sour cherries or cranberries, coarsely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons crystallized ginger, finely chopped
Preheat oven to 350 F. Spread the walnuts on a baking sheet and toast for 8 minutes, or until golden and fragrant. Let cool, coarsely chop.

Line a baking sheet with parchment or wax paper. In a glass bowl, melt chocolate in microwave. Stir until smooth. Stir in the walnuts, cherries and crystallized ginger until evenly coated. Scrape the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet and spread evenly about ¼ to ½ inch thick. Refrigerate for 10 minutes, or until firm, break into pieces.

Makes 1 ½ pounds.
