Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat for easy cleanup.
Chop the white chocolate into small, even pieces to ensure it melts smoothly.
In a microwave-safe bowl, microwave the white chocolate in 20-second intervals, stirring well after each interval, until fully melted and glossy. Be careful not to overheat.
Spread the melted white chocolate evenly onto the prepared baking sheet, creating a thin layer approximately 1/4-inch thick.
Sprinkle the chopped pistachios and dried cranberries evenly over the melted chocolate, pressing them down gently to ensure they adhere.
If desired, sprinkle a light pinch of sea salt over the bark for added flavor contrast.
Allow the bark to cool and harden completely. This can be done by letting it sit at room temperature for about 1 hour or placing it in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes.
Once the bark is set, break it into irregular pieces using your hands or a sharp knife.
Store the Pistachio Cranberry Bark in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
