Chocolate Holiday Bark

 

My friends Sherri and Dave gave me this tasty chocolate almond bark a few years ago at Christmas and now I can't imagine a Christmas without it. With two kinds of chocolate, toasted almonds, dried cranberries and dried apricots all combined to make the most delicious treat. Great to give away for gifts, that is if you don't eat it all first. 

1 pkg. (225 grams) BAKER'S Semi-Sweet Chocolate, broken into pieces

 1 pkg. (170 grams) BAKER'S White Chocolate, broken into pieces

 1 cup almonds, toasted

 1/2 cup dried cranberries

 1/2 cup chopped dried apricots

Microwave semi-sweet chocolate in a small microwaveable bowl on medium for 2 minutes, or until chocolate is almost melted. Stir until completely melted. Repeat, in a separate bowl, with the white chocolate. Stir half each of the nuts, cranberries and apricots into chocolate in each bowl.

Drop spoonful's of chocolate mixtures alternately onto waxed paper-covered baking sheet; swirl gently with knife.

Refrigerate 1 hour or until firm. Break into pieces.

Store in airtight container at room temperature.
