Cranberry Pistachio Butter Cracker Bark

December 21, 2015

Varying sizes of Cranberry Pistachio Butter Cracker Bark.

Officially.  the. week.  of Christmas.  I know.  Don’t panic.  It’s going to be alright!  Even if all is not currently calm or looking particularly bright.

Butter crackers arranged on a baking sheet, sitting next to a wood bowl of chopped cranberries and pistachios, and a bowl of melted white chocolate.

Currently I’m cozied up on the couch in front of the fire with one sick-ish little boy sleeping next to me, two others tucked in bed, and the man of the house busy wrapping presents (sorry, he’s taken). We enjoyed a nice day with church and family and even snuck in one of our favorite hikes, and it feels so good to finally sit down in a semi-peaceful moment and write you a little note about this Cranberry Pistachio Butter Cracker Bark.  It’s so deee-lish.  Sweet and salty.  Tangy and nutty.  All that good stuff.

Definitely a spin off of my beloved Butter Cracker Peppermint Bark from last year.

And if you need a last minute little homemade gift for someone, it’s going to be your new best friend!

Hello dried cranberries and pistachios – you are so very festive in your red and green there!

If you can lay out crackers in a straight line, melt white chocolate in the microwave then I think you can handle this recipe.

Throw them in a bag and tie a little bow too okay.  You’re golden friends!  Talk to you soon.

Description

A thin layer of white chocolate on a flaky buttery cracker with a sprinkle of dried cranberries and pistachios.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 42 butter crackers (I used Keebler Club crackers)
  • 12 ounces white chocolate chips
  • 2 teaspoons coconut oil (or any cooking oil)
  • 1/2 cup chopped pistachios*
  • 1/2 cup dried cranberries, chopped
  • sea salt

Instructions

  1. Line the bottom of a 10 by 15-inch jelly roll pan with the crackers.
  2. In a microwave safe bowl, heat white chocolate chips and coconut oil in 30 second increments until completely melted and smooth.
  3. Pour the melted chocolate evenly over the crackers and spread in a thin, even layer.
  4. While still wet, sprinkle the cranberries, pistachios, and sea salt over the white chocolate.
  5. Allow to set (you can put them in the fridge for a quick chill) and then break into pieces.

Notes

*If your pistachios are unsalted, you may want to add a sprinkle of sea salt to balance out the sweetness of the white chocolate.

    Julie! It looks amazing!! I actually was looking for a last minute gift idea and this looks like the perfect one. So glad I checked your website. Wouldn’t the melted chocolate won’t make the crackers soggy?

      The white chocolate will be a thin layer and will set fairly quickly. It doesn’t make the crackers soggy at all. Hope you enjoy the recipe!
