Ingredients needed for Cranberry Orange Chocolate Bark:

How to make Cranberry Orange Chocolate Bark:

First layer: Melt dark chocolate. Pour onto 11×17 silicone baking mat or waxed paper. Using a spatula spread thin. Sprinkle half of the almonds and dried cranberries. Chill.
Second Layer: Melt about half the white chocolate. Add orange zest. As it is mixed it will “seize” or make the chocolate harden. If too much zest is added it will become too hard to roll. Between two pieces of waxed paper roll out the orange layer as big as the dark chocolate layer. Place orange layer on top of dark chocolate layer and press down. Chill.
Last layer: Melt remaining white chocolate. Spread and smooth over the orange layer. Sprinkle remaining cranberries and press down gently. Chill.
Break and enjoy: Break into your desired size and enjoy!

How to store Cranberry Orange Chocolate Bark:

Once you break up your bark, you can store it in an airtight container at room temperature. It will also taste delicious cold from the fridge!
