Holiday Bark

 This sweet treat is perfect to set out on the coffee table for your guests to enjoy on Thanksgiving.

 I also like to whip up a couple of batches to give as gifts at Christmastime.  I've already bought some holiday candy jars from the Christmas Tree Shop for $2.99 each, which I'll fill with homemade holiday bark. I think they'll make sweet gifts!  

Ingredients:

• 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
• 1/2 cup sliced unsalted almonds
• 1/2 cup dried cranberries

Directions:

1. Line a baking sheet with waxed paper.
2. Slowly melt chocolate chips in a double boiler, stirring frequently.  (If you don't have a double boiler, you can use two nested saucepans.  Just be sure to add water to the bottom pan.)
3. Stir cranberries and almonds into the melted chocolate. 
4. Spread the mixture onto the lined baking sheet.
5. Chill in the freezer for 20-30 minutes until set.
6.  Break into pieces and place covered jars.  
7. Refrigerate jars or store them in a cool place.  You can also make holiday bark ahead of time and freeze it.  Just remove it from the freezer a couple of hours before you're ready to serve it or give it as a gift.

Enjoy!
