DARK CHOCOLATE PISTACHIO BERRY CUPS

I always like to give cookie and candy trays to neighbors and friends for the holidays. Typically, I choose a good mix of recipes for everyone’s tastes. As well, I mix easy recipes with harder or more time-consuming ones.

Some of the treats I include every year because they’re favorites are

The difficulty level for this recipe is easy, like super easy. Super duper easy even! I mean, all you do is melt the chocolate in the microwave, stir it together, and decorate. 🤷‍♀️

IS ALMOND AND WHITE CHOCOLATE THE SAME?

No, they’re not the same product.

Almond bark is made with vegetable fats, sugar, flavors, and coloring. It can come in different flavors, including vanilla and chocolate, but it does not contain any real chocolate.
White chocolate is a blend of cocoa butter, milk products, vanilla, and lecithin. It is not actually chocolate either because it doesn’t contain any chocolate solids.

For this recipe, you can use either almond bark or white chocolate. Almond bark is typically cheaper and easier to work with. It melts smoothly and doesn’t scorch or burn as easily as white chocolate.

SUBSTITUTIONS AND TIPS

Pistachios – You can substitute chopped pecans, walnuts, or almonds for the pistachios.
Fruit – You can use any seasonal fruit or your favorite.
Most important, before placing any fruit on the chocolate be certain they are completely dry. Water makes chocolate seize up (or harden) but it also will cause fruit to mold quickly.
Next, you can make these ahead of time, even a few days ahead. However, simply wait to put the fruit on until you’re ready to serve. This way the fruit will stay nice and fresh.
Finally, if you need these treats to harden faster, place them in the refrigerator for 10 to 15 minutes.

Ingredients

2 cups dark chocolate chips
4 ounces almond bark
