White Chocolate and Pistachio Bark

The combination of white chocolate, dried cranberry and pistachios is classic but the variations are endless. Substitute the white chocolate with dark or milk chocolate; the cranberries for raisins, apricots or dates and the pistachios for any gourmet nuts, including lightly salted pecans, walnuts, cashew nuts or Virginia peanuts.
