Holiday Fruit and Nut Bark

* 3/4 cup dried cherries * 1/2 cup unsalted pistachios * 1/4 cup chopped crystallized ginger * 7 ounces dark chocolate- chopped into chunks

1. Combine cherries, pistachios, and ginger in a medium bowl, stirring well. Line baking sheet with heavy-duty foil; chill pan. 2. Place chocolate in a double boiler or heatproof bowl; cook over simmering water until chocolate is melted, stirring frequently (about 5 minutes.) Stir in half of fruit mixture; spread onto prepared pan. Using a rubber spatula, spread chocolate mixture evenly onto an 11x9 inch rectangle. Immediately sprinkle the remaining fruit mixture evenly over top of the chocolate mixture; chill (about 10 minutes). 3. Break into 10 (3-inch) pieces; serve. Bark should be kept in an airtight container in the fridge or a cool room. It will keep for up to 3 weeks. -Health Magazine
