Rich, glossy, and loaded with texture, this chocolate bark is the kind of treat that looks like it came from a fancy confectionery but comes together entirely in your own kitchen. The combination of deep, bittersweet dark chocolate swirled with creamy white chocolate creates a stunning marbled surface that's almost too pretty to break apart — almost. Roasted almonds and pistachios bring a satisfying crunch, while dried cranberries add little bursts of tart sweetness that cut right through the richness, and a final scatter of flaky sea salt ties everything together beautifully. The tempering process — melting, seeding, and cooling the chocolate to just the right temperature — is what gives each piece that professional-level snap and shine, so it's worth taking your time with the thermometer. For anyone navigating tree nut sensitivities specifically around pecans, this recipe is a genuinely satisfying option since every nut called for is clearly listed and easy to source and verify on its own. Store-bought bark and chocolate assortments can be a minefield of unlabeled mix-ins, so making your own means you control exactly what goes on that parchment. Break it into rustic shards, pile it onto a plate, and watch it disappear faster than you'd expect.

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.
