How to Make Cranberry Pecan Bark

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C).
  2. Spread 1 cup pecan halves on a baking sheet in a single layer. Toast for 8-10 minutes, or until fragrant and lightly browned, stirring halfway through.
  3. Remove pecans from oven and let cool completely on a wire rack.
  4. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  5. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt candy coating wafers according to package directions, stirring every 30 seconds to prevent burning.
  6. Gently stir in the cooled toasted pecans, 1 cup dried cranberries, and 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg.
  7. Pour the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet and spread evenly to 1/4-inch thickness.
  8. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or until the bark is completely set and firm.
  9. Once firm, break the bark into 1 1/2-inch pieces.
  10. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
