How to Make Irresistible Festive Cranberry Chocolate Bark
  1. Melt the Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, heat dark chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring after each until smooth and glossy.
  2. Prepare the Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment or wax paper smoothly, creating a non-stick surface.
  3. Mix In the Ingredients: Gently fold in the dried cranberries and chopped nuts into the melted chocolate. Add optional orange zest if desired.
  4. Spread Mixture: Pour the chocolate mixture onto the lined baking sheet and spread it evenly, aiming for about half an inch thick.
  5. Season and Set: Lightly sprinkle sea salt over the top and refrigerate for about 1 hour.
  6. Break and Serve: After setting, break the bark into irregular pieces and serve immediately.
