White Chocolate Pistachio Bark
"The pistachios and dried cranberries give this a kind of subtle red and green look, for a Martha Stewart-y Christmas appeal. The recipe originated with Cafe Momo in Durham NC (go Tarheels!), and the recipe is from Carolina Thyme, the cookbook of the Durham/Orange County Junior League."

This is definitely a 5 star recipe! Very easy, too. I used a bit more cranberries (maybe 10-12 oz total), so had to add extra white chocolate, too (maybe 20 oz total). I made this up for christmas gifts, but after tasting it, I might have to keep a bit for myself and my family! -
Delicious Fluffernutter just delicious and so very easy to make. I used Ghirardelli white chocolate, what a treat. I loved the taste of the sweet cranberries and the toasted pistachios together. The toasting of the nut is the key...yummy...I will be making these again and again.
