White chocolate bar with pistachios, cranberries and candied orange peel

Ingredients:

• 450 g of white chocolate
• 0.5 cup chopped pistachios
• 0.5 cups dried cranberries
• 0.5 cup chopped candied orange peel

Preparation:

1. Line a baking sheet with foil (shiny side up); smooth out any wrinkles. Make sure all your tools are dry.
2. Using a large knife, chop the white chocolate into 1-cm pieces. Set aside 1 cup and place the rest in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave for 30 seconds, then stir with a silicone spatula. Continue microwaving and stirring in 30-second intervals until all the chocolate is melted, about 3-5 minutes total. Immediately add the reserved 1 cup of white chocolate chips to the bowl. Stir vigorously until melted and shiny. Don't worry if a few small chunks remain.
3. Pour the white chocolate onto the prepared baking sheet; using a silicone spatula, spread it into a circle 25-30 cm in diameter and about 0.5 cm thick.
4. Spread crushed pistachios, dried cranberries, and candied orange peel evenly over the white chocolate and press lightly. Let the bar set completely at room temperature, about 1 hour. If the room is too warm, you may need to put the chocolate in the freezer for a few minutes. Break the bar into pieces and store in an airtight container at room temperature for 1 to 2 weeks.
