Ingredients
The following ingredients have 2 Servings
- 1 can (14 ounces sweetened condensed milk (not evaporated milk!))
- 2 cups 12 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped evenly (chips are also fine for this recipe)
- 1 ounce unsweet chocolate
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3/4 cup whole roasted salted pistachios
- 3/4 cup whole dried cranberries
- 1/4 cup finely ground pistachios (optional)
Instruction
- Grease a baking pan, 8x8x2 inches. Line with parchment or waxed paper so that the paper overhangs two sides of the pan.
- Stir the sweetened condensed milk and semisweet chocolate together in a microwave-safe 2 quart dish. Add the unsweet chocolate and microwave at 100% for 1 minute; stir. Microwave again until chocolate is melted and mixture can be stirred smooth, about 2 minutes longer. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- Fold in the whole pistachios and cranberries using a large rubber spatula. Pour the mixture into the prepared pan and smooth the top of the candy with the spatula. Sprinkle the top with ground pistachios, if using.
- Refrigerate until firm. Cut into 2-inch squares. Store in a container that seals air-tight.
- Package 6 pieces in small cellophane bags tied with ribbon for gift giving. Give larger amounts in festive Christmas tins or stacked inside lidded Mason jars.
