There are two things that I have to hide from my husband if I plan on using it in a recipe: dark chocolate, and nuts of any sort. It’s like he has a radar or something. A bag of almonds can disappear in no time, man. So you can only imagine when I combined dark chocolate and pistachios to make this Pistachio Chocolate Bark Recipe how much his choco-nut radar was going crazy. But then—the wacky guy—he actually asked before tasting it if it was good. What’s not to be good? It’s chocolate and pistachios. A no-brainer in my book, and apparently in many other’s books too.

I think that the chocolate nut combo favorite may account for the bazillion tasty bark recipes seen around this time of the year. Thankfully, somehow we forget about this decadent treat the other 11 months of the year, or I’d be in a heap of trouble. Plus, my husband’s choco-nut radar would be broken, worn out from all that detecting and such.

So go get you some chocolate, get you some nuts, and do this:
