Cranberry Pistachio Eggnog Bark

Welcome to Christmas Week, a multi-blogger event co-hosted by Kim of Cravings of a Lunatic and Jen from Juanita's Cocina! Each day we will be celebrating the holidays with a different set of Christmas-themed treats, as well as a fabulous Christmas giveaway. We hope you enjoy this fabulous event. Tune in each day starting today, Monday, December 9th and ending Saturday, December 14th.

Today I'm sharing an AMAZING bark recipe for the eggnog lovers. This bark straight up tastes like eggnog - with the added bonus of chopped pistachios and dried cranberries mixed in. Bark is one of my favorite things to make because it's so darn easy! And it definitely counts as Christmas baking... even though the oven is never touched :)

Can you smell the nutmeg?

Cranberry Pistachio Eggnog Bark

12 ounces white chocolate chips

3 tablespoons eggnog

1/4 cup roasted salted pistachios, chopped

1/4 cup dried cranberries, chopped

1 teaspoon nutmeg

1/2 teaspoon vanilla

1/2 teaspoon rum (optional)

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.

Set up a double boiler (or place a metal mixing bowl over a medium saucepan). Add a few inches of water to the saucepan, making sure the water won't touch the bowl on top. Bring the water to a boil. In the top bowl, add the white chocolate chips and 1 tablespoon of eggnog. Stir frequently until it begins to melt. Add another tablespoon of eggnog and continue stirring. Add the last tablespoon of eggnog, stir until it's melted and smooth, and remove from heat. Whisk in the nutmeg, vanilla, and rum until smooth. Stir in the chopped pistachios and cranberries, leaving a small amount behind for garnish.

Pour the chocolate mixture out onto the prepared baking sheet and smooth until it's about 1/4 inch thick. Garnish with additional chopped pistachios and cranberries and chill in the fridge for at least 2 hours. Break into pieces and serve.
