Bark the Herald Angels Sing

    If anyone else out there has recently had the "Oh no, I forgot to get something for...." as I recently did with my hairdresser, here's a quick and easy last minute token of appreciation perfect for those people you want to give something small. It's a little bit more personal than a bottle of wine, and for me way more budget friendly (we ALL know how much a bottle of Naked Grape costs, you can't fool anyone with that). 

    Cranberry Almond Bark

  1 c semi sweet chocolate chips

 2.5 oz white chocolate

 1/2 c toasted chopped almonds

 1/3 c dried cranberries

-Melt both chocolates separately using either the microwave or stovetop (or combination of both).
-Stir 3/4 of the nuts and most of the cranberries into the semi sweet chocolate.
-Evenly spread the mixture onto a wax (or grease proof) paper covered baking tray.
-Drizzle the white chocolate overtop and use the tip of a knife to swirl it in.
-Sprinkle remaining nuts and cranberries overtop, pressing them into the soft chocolate.
-Place in fridge to cool and harden then break into pieces.

You can really use any nut and/or fruit combination, I just happened to have almonds and cranberries on hand. 

My New Year's resolution this year is going to be to figure out how to take better pictures because this poor blog is looking ghetto.
