Is the Cranberry Bark Recipe Handy?

[janetupnorth]

Anyone have it handy? I'm flying around doing things at home since it is the first night I've been home in over a week to do more than sleep. I have a craving for these though and am pretty sure I have the ingredients, just can't find the recipe handy and hate to search tonight.

Can someone post it please?

Thanks in advance!

Festive Cranberry
Crunch Bark
This simple candy is the perfect holiday treat. Wrap in
clear cellophane and add a ribbon or a bow for a great
homemade gift.
1 package (20 ounces) vanilla- or chocolate-flavored
almond bark, coarsely chopped
¾ cup almonds
¾ cup sweetened dried cranberries
2 cups crisp rice cereal
1. Place Rectangle Stone into freezer at least 1 hour. Cover Large Grooved Cutting Board
with sheet of Parchment Paper. Place almond bark into Classic Batter Bowl. Microwave bark
2-3 minutes or just until melted, stirring occasionally.
2. Meanwhile, coarsely chop nuts with Food Chopper; place into Small Micro-Cooker®.
Microwave 2-3 minutes, stirring after each 30-second interval, until golden brown. Add
cranberries; stir until combined.
3. Stir cereal and half of the nut mixture into melted bark. Pour bark mixture onto parchment,
spreading evenly. Immediately sprinkle with remaining nut mixture; press lightly onto surface
of bark.
4. Remove baking stone from freezer; slide parchment onto baking stone. Let stand 7-10 minutes
or until bark is set. Bring edges of parchment up over bark and break into pieces.

Cook’s Tips: If desired, two packages (12 ounces each) premium white or chocolate-flavored
confectionery coating candy wafers can be substituted for the almond bark.
When melting almond bark, make sure the batter bowl and all utensils are completely dry; even
one drop of water will cause almond bark to harden and clump.
Stack broken pieces of bark from largest to smallest in the shape of a tree on a Cranberry
Appetizer Plate. To keep fresh or give as a gift, wrap it with cellophane and tie it with a
beautiful bow.
For a great, inexpensive party favor, spoon melted bark mixture into the centers of holiday cookie
cutters. Let them stand until set, and then wrap them in cellophane.

Hope this is it!

I saw that part, but when you go the 2007 list, it doesn't link to the recipes.

I make it with the regular chocolate almond bark.

almond bark is not white chocolate

Oh. What is it then?

 

[janetupnorth]

Almond Bark (also known as vanilla flavored candy coating) is an artificial chocolate made with vegetable fats instead of cocoa butter and with coloring and flavors added. It can be found in 1.5 pound packages, in blocks, or in round discs where candy supplies are sold.It actually doesn't contain chocolate.

Feel less than healthy now?!

I made the bark yesterday. Got the recipe from PC's All the Best cookbook. Only made half a batch--my DH, DS and myself devoured it all!! That's why I made only half the recipe!!

instead of the almonds and rice krispies I do the variation they gave with pretzels and craisins

are dried cranberries the same as crasins?

are dried cranberries the same as crasins?

I have always considered them the same...mmmm:blushing: maybe not.
Don't think it matters too much though. I thought the c r a stood for cranberry and the raisin was because they look like raisins. mmm

Yeah - they are the same thing. It's just one brands name for them.
