      Title: Chocolate Bark w/Pistachios & Dried Cherries
 Categories: Five, Snacks, Fruits, Nuts, Chocolate
      Yield: 10 Servings
 
    3/4 c  Roasted, shelled pistachios;
           - coarse chopped
    3/4 c  Dried cherries or
           - cranberries
      1 ts Fresh grated orange zest
     24 oz Bittersweet chocolate; fine
           - chopped, divided
 
  Line the bottom and sides of a jelly-roll pan or baking
  sheet with foil. (Take care to avoid wrinkles.) Toss
  pistachios with cherries (or cranberries) in a medium
  bowl. Divide the mixture in half; stir orange zest into 1
  portion.
  
  Melt 18 ounces chocolate in a double boiler over hot
  water. (Alternatively, microwave on low in 30-second
  bursts.) Stir often with a rubber spatula so it melts
  evenly.
  
  Remove the top pan and wipe dry (or remove the bowl from
  the microwave). Stir in the remaining 6 ounces chocolate,
  in 2 additions, until thoroughly melted and smooth.
  
  Add the pistachio mixture containing the orange zest to
  the chocolate; stir to mix well. Working quickly, scrape
  the chocolate onto the prepared pan, spreading it to an
  even 1/4-inch thickness with a rubber spatula. Sprinkle
  the remaining pistachio mixture on top; gently press it
  into the chocolate with your fingertips. Refrigerate,
  uncovered, just until set, about 20 minutes.
  
  Invert the pan onto a large cutting board. Remove the pan
  and peel off the foil. Using the tip of a sharp knife,
  score the chocolate lengthwise with 6 parallel lines.
  Break bark along the score lines. Break the strips of bark
  into 2" to 3" chunks.
  
  MAKE AHEAD TIP: Store in an airtight container in the
  refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
