That’s all there is to this pistachio cherry bark! There’s something very Christmassy about the combo of pistachio and cherry, but that doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy this bark all year round. It make such an easy treat to take along to an afternoon tea or someone’s house and you can make it ahead of time as well. Just be sure to keep it refrigerated – it will of course start melting if you leave it out too long!
