Directions

Melt the magic: Place both types of chocolate into a heatproof bowl set atop a pan with simmering water. Stir gently until they melt together into a silky, shiny pooleffortless bliss without tempering hassles![1]
Prep your canvas: Line a baking sheet with parchment. Use a ruler and pencil to outline a 9 x 10-inch rectangle on the paper. Flip the paper, drawn side down, onto your tray.
Assemble and shine: Pour the melted chocolate onto the prepared parchment and spread it evenly within your outlined rectangle. Scatter the cashews, apricots, and cranberries generously over the top for bursts of texture and tart sweetness.
Patience rewards: Let the bark set at room temperature for two hours until completely firm. Slice into 1 x 3-inch bars and serve at room temperaturewatch it disappear![1][4]
