Chocolate bark looks impressive but is genuinely one of the easiest things you can make at home, and this version delivers serious wow factor with its marbled swirl, jewel-toned toppings, and that final hit of flaky sea salt. The combination of rich dark chocolate, creamy white chocolate, crunchy almonds and pistachios, and chewy dried cranberries hits every texture and flavor note you could want in a single bite. Store-bought chocolate treats are notorious for sneaking in high fructose corn syrup as a sweetener or binder, so making your own from quality chopped dark and white chocolate puts you completely in control of what goes in. The tempering process — melting most of the chocolate, then stirring in the reserved portion to bring the temperature down — is what gives each piece that satisfying snap and glossy finish you'd expect from a professional chocolatier. It sounds technical, but it really just takes a thermometer and a little patience. Once the bark sets and you break it into those gorgeous jagged shards, it's almost too pretty to eat — almost. Package it up as a gift or keep it all to yourself; either way, no one needs to know how simple it was.

Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside. Divide the chopped dark chocolate into two portions: set aside about one-quarter (3 oz) in a separate small bowl, and place the remaining three-quarters (9 oz) in a heatproof bowl.
Set the heatproof bowl with the 9 oz of dark chocolate over a saucepan of barely simmering water, making sure the bottom of the bowl does not touch the water. Stir frequently until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth, and registers 115–120°F (46–49°C) on an instant-read thermometer.
