Preparation
- Step 1
Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Place the wafers in a bowl, then set bowl over a pan of rapidly boiling water (or use a double boiler).
- Step 2
Allow chocolate to melt completely, stirring frequently, then pour onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Spread to a thickness of about ⅛ inch. Sprinkle the surface with chopped pistachios. Leave in a cool place to harden, about 2 hours. To serve, break bark into rough pieces.

Suggestion to make the bark look and taste better, use an 8-oz bar of high-quality dark chocolate. Break into pieces, place in a glass liquid measuring cup and microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in-between. Once melted, stir in 1/2 tsp coconut oil (for sheen) then pour onto parchment. You can also add 1/2 tsp of vanilla, almond or other extract to complement the nuts used.
Oh, in these dark days when bad things are happening I want to say thank heavens for the NYT cooking page, where recipes like this light up our life.
I have a funny story about this. I was in Istanbul running errands and passed a sweet shop. I bought a quantity of pistachio brittle and nibbled away at my stash on the bus back to my hotel. I stopped by a carpet shop I knew and while chatting, offered everyone some of my delicious candy. They burst out laughing and when I asked, said that pistachio candy is a gift you give newlyweds because it increases libido.
Have made this several times to rave reviews. The most recently, I didn’t even chop the nuts, just pressed them into the melted chocolate. It was outstanding.
Have made this several times to rave reviews. This last time, didn’t even chop the nuts. Just spread them on the melted chocolate. Even better IMHO.
I make melt chocolate and coat matzoh for Passover - I also add chopped dried cranberries to the pistachios.
