Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the white chocolate chips in 30-second increments, stirring after each, until completely smooth. Alternatively, melt the white chocolate using a double boiler over low heat.
Once the white chocolate is melted, carefully pour it onto the prepared baking sheet and spread into an even layer about 1/4-inch thick using a spatula.
Sprinkle the dried cranberries and shelled pistachios evenly over the melted chocolate, gently pressing them down to ensure they adhere.
Lightly sprinkle the sea salt over the top for a subtle salty-sweet flavor contrast.
Let the bark cool at room temperature for about 1 hour or place it in the refrigerator for 20-30 minutes until fully set.
Once hardened, break the bark into irregular pieces and serve or package in an airtight container for gifting.
Store any leftovers at room temperature or in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
