Can You Use a Different Nut in the Cranberry Crunch Bark?

In summary, the recipe for Cranberry Crunch Bark allows for the use of different nuts, such as pecans, walnuts, or cashews, as long as they are similar in size and texture to the recommended almonds. However, it is not recommended to substitute the nuts for other ingredients as it may alter the overall texture and flavor of the bark. Toasting the nuts is optional but can enhance their flavor and texture. Frozen or dried cranberries can also be used in the recipe, with the frozen ones needing to be thawed and drained first. And for those with allergies or dietary restrictions, the nuts can be omitted or replaced with seeds or chopped dried fruit.
