Ingredients
Scale
- 12 oz (340 g) white chocolate chips or baking bars (high-quality, e.g., Callebaut or Ghirardelli)
- 1 cup (120 g) roasted pistachios, shelled and unsalted
- 1 tsp flaky sea salt (e.g., Maldon or fleur de sel)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
- Dried rose petals or edible glitter for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare your workspace by lining a 9×13 inch (23×33 cm) baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Roughly chop the pistachios if desired and set aside.
- Melt the white chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals at 50% power, stirring thoroughly after each interval until smooth and fully melted. Alternatively, melt using a double boiler over simmering water, stirring constantly to prevent burning.
- Stir in vanilla extract if using.
- Pour the melted white chocolate onto the prepared baking sheet and spread evenly into a thin layer about 1/4 inch (6 mm) thick using a spatula.
- Evenly scatter the roasted pistachios over the melted chocolate, then immediately sprinkle with flaky sea salt to ensure it sticks.
- Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for 30 to 45 minutes or until the chocolate is completely firm. Avoid freezing to prevent grainy texture.
- Remove from the fridge and lift the bark off the parchment or mat. Break into irregular pieces by hand or cut with a knife.
- Serve immediately or store in an airtight container at room temperature or in the fridge.
Notes
If chocolate seizes or looks grainy during melting, add a teaspoon of vegetable oil and gently reheat while stirring. Use low heat and stir often to prevent burning. Use dry bowls and utensils to avoid chocolate seizing. Spread chocolate evenly and sprinkle nuts and salt immediately after spreading for best adhesion. Refrigerate to set but avoid freezing to maintain texture.
