• Put 9 ounces of the chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring well between each, until just melted. Stir in the remaining 3 ounces chocolate and let stand 3 minutes. Stir until completely smooth. If there are still some lumps, microwave in 15-second intervals, stirring well after each, to melt any remaining chocolate, but take care not to heat more than necessary.
• Pour the chocolate onto the parchment and gently spread to a thickness of 1/4 inch. Sprinkle the pistachios and cranberries on top, pressing very lightly so they adhere. Sprinkle with the flaky salt.
• Refrigerate until set, about 20 minutes. Break into pieces and keep refrigerated until ready to serve.

WHITE CHOCOLATE BARK

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.

WHITE CHOCOLATE OREO BARK

Steps:

• Line a 13'' x 9'' pan with parchment paper, and spray with a little non-stick cooking spray.
• Place Oreos in a gallon-sized Ziploc bag and give them several good whacks with a rolling pin until each cookie is broken up. Alternately, you can place them in a large bowl and break them up with a wooden spoon.
• Put the white chocolate chips in a large microwave-safe bowl and add the shortening. Cook for 30 seconds on half power, removing to stir. Cook in 15-second increments on half-power, stirring each time, just until the chips have mostly melted. Remove from microwave and stir until the chips are all the way melted. This took me about 2 minutes total time, but microwaves vary, and you don't want to overcook the chips.
• Add the broken-up Oreo cookies to the melted white chocolate chip mixture. Mix well, then spread as evenly as possible into the 13'' x 9'' pan.
• Allow to harden. This might take a couple of hours at room temperature, or you can place the bark in the fridge to speed up the process.
• When completely hard, remove bark from the pan and carefully peel off the parchment paper. With a sharp knife, cut in to pieces. The pieces will likely be imperfect and you'll end up with some crumbs; save them to sprinkle over ice cream.
