Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
Melt the white chocolate in a heatproof bowl set over a pot of simmering water (double boiler method), stirring constantly until smooth. Alternatively, use a microwave-safe bowl and melt the chocolate in 20-second intervals, stirring well after each interval to prevent overheating.
Once melted, stir in the vanilla extract and sea salt until well combined.
Gently fold in the dried cranberries and sliced almonds, reserving a small amount of each for garnish.
Pour the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet and spread it out evenly using a spatula to about 1/4-inch thickness.
Sprinkle the reserved cranberries and almonds over the top, pressing them lightly into the chocolate to adhere.
Allow the bark to set at room temperature for 1 to 2 hours, or place it in the refrigerator for faster setting, about 30 minutes.
Once fully hardened, break the bark into irregular pieces using your hands or a knife.
Store the cranberry almond bark in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
