- Combine cranberries, almonds, and apricots in a bowl. Add to melted chocolate and mix until well combined.

Steps:
- Melt the 2 chocolates in a heatproof bowl set over a pan of simmering water.

Steps:
- Line a baking sheet with foil, shiny-side up; smooth out the creases. Make sure all your tools are dry.
- Chop the bittersweet and white chocolate into 1/2-inch pieces with a large knife. Place all but 1/2 cup of the bittersweet chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave 15 seconds, then stir with a rubber spatula. Continue microwaving and stirring at 15-second intervals until melted, about 3 minutes total. Immediately add the reserved chopped bittersweet chocolate to the bowl; stir vigorously until melted and shiny. Repeat with the white chocolate in a separate bowl. Don't worry if there are a few small unmelted pieces.
- Pour the 2 chocolates side by side onto the prepared baking sheet; use the rubber spatula to swirl them together and spread into a 10-to-12-inch circle, about 1/4 inch thick.
- Press the almonds and apricots into the chocolate, arranging them so each bite has a mix of flavors and textures. Sprinkle with fennel seeds. Let the bark harden completely at room temperature, about 1 hour. (If the room is warm, you may need to freeze the bark for a few minutes.) Break into pieces and store in an airtight container at room temperature for 1 to 2 weeks.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Using a pencil, draw an 8-by-10-inch rectangle on a piece of parchment paper. Turn the parchment paper over so the pencil mark doesn't get onto the chocolate and place it on a sheet pan.
- Place the pistachios in one layer on another sheet pan and bake for 8 minutes. Set aside to cool.
- Place three quarters of the white chocolate in a heat-proof glass bowl and put it in the microwave on high for 30 seconds. (Time it with your watch for accuracy.) Stir the chocolate with a rubber spatula, return it to the microwave for another 30 seconds, then stir again. Continue to heat and stir in 30-second intervals until the chocolate is just melted. Immediately stir in the remaining chocolate and allow it to sit at room temperature, stirring often, until it's completely smooth. (If you need to heat it a little more, place it in the microwave for another 15 seconds.)
- Pour the melted chocolate onto the parchment paper and spread it lightly to fill the drawn rectangle. Sprinkle the top evenly with the cooled pistachios, the cranberries, and apricots. Press the nuts and fruit lightly so they will set in the chocolate. Set aside for at least 2 hours until firm or refrigerate for 20 minutes. Cut or break the bark in 16 pieces and serve at room temperature.

APRICOT, GOLDEN RAISIN AND SMOKED ALMOND CHOCOLATE BARK
Chocolate bark is like cheaters' homemade chocolate-you can make something that feels totally gourmet and exceptional, in almost no time. It's a great, portable, decadent-feeling sweet treat that's perfect on a hike or a picnic, great for gifting and, of course, wonderful for tucking away for your 3pm cravings. I like to use a dark chocolate-70-percent or higher, which is the best for you. I've trained my kids on good dark chocolate early-but for some families this may feel like an adult treat. If that's the case, you can blend in a few chocolate chips or another semisweet chocolate to bring the sweetness forward. For my taste, there's enough sweet going on from the dried fruits-this is a harvest combo that feels perfect for deep fall and right into the holiday season. (There are so many options here for the dried fruit-dried fig would work as well!) The smoky almonds add crunch and if you love that bright citrus vibe in your chocolate, a little orange zest goes a long way here. Finish it with a flaky sea salt that makes the whole thing hit all the sweet-salty notes I crave to give a dreamy finish. This one is slightly thicker than a lot of chocolate barks, so it holds all the goodies on top, and feels a bit more like a candy bar. It's also easier to pack without any melting or shattering.

Steps:
- Line a 9-by-9-inch baking sheet with parchment paper, coating the bottom and up the sides (this makes it super easy to remove your bark when it sets).
- Add two-thirds of the chocolate to a large metal bowl set over a pot with simmering (not boiling water). Stir gently to melt. When the chocolate is completely melted, sprinkle in the remaining chocolate and whisk to melt (adding the chocolate in stages helps the chocolate stay in temper and keep its shiny luster).
- Pour the melted chocolate into the prepared pan and use an offset spatula to smooth the top. Sprinkle on the raisins, apricots and almonds, pressing a few pieces in just slightly to adhere. Sprinkle the orange zest lightly over the top (taking care not to let it clump all in one area) and top with flaky salt. Set aside at room temperature until completely set, about 4 hours (yes, you can speed this up in the fridge, but the cold can throw the chocolate out of temper and lesson your shiny, snappy results).
- Cut or break into 8 to 10 bars and serve. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

CHOCOLATE ALMOND BARK
This is a great recipe for the holidays and to give as a gift because it is relatively easy to make. Use your favorite bittersweet chocolate for this one since the chocolate is what really makes this great. I don't remember where this recipe came from but you can mix it up by using a different type of nut or even using more or less chocolate.
