Toasting the nuts may seem like an unnecessary extra step, but it’s key to drawing the floral, nutty flavour from the pistachios, which pairs deliciously with the tangy cranberries and smooth dark chocolate for a modern take on the traditional fruit and nut chocolate bar. Store in an airtight container in a cool, dark place for up to 2 months.
