Cranberry Nut Bark

This is a quick and easy recipe to make a rich, yummy candy for your sweetie pie - or yourself.  This recipe is made easier by using the microwave to melt the chocolate chips.

Cranberry Nut Bark


1/2 Cup Dried Cranberries
1 Cup Chopped Walnuts
2 Cups Semisweet Chocolate Chips

Line an 8x8 pan with foil.


Place the chips in a medium sized microwaveable bowl.  Cook on high for no more than 30 seconds at a time in microwave.  Remove and stir.  Repeat until the chocolate is all melted and smooth.  It took my microwave 1:30 but the times will be different machines.

Stir in the cranberries and walnuts. 

Spread evenly into the prepared pan.  

Sprinkle with additional nuts, if desired.

Place into the refrigerator for 20 minutes.  Break apart into chunks when hardened.  Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

In a large mixing bowl cream together softened butter and cocoa.  Mix in the sugar, eggs and vanilla.  

Slowly add the dry ingredients.  Fold in cranberries, walnuts and chips.  

Pour into the baking dish, and spread until even.  Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until toothpick inserted in middle comes out clean, or the brownies start to pull away from the edges of the pan.
