¼ cup dried cranberries (optional)
¼ cup roasted nuts (e.g., almonds, pecans) (optional)
Directions

- Melt the white chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl, stirring every 30 seconds until smooth.
- Pour the melted white chocolate onto the prepared baking sheet and spread it evenly with a spatula.

- Immediately sprinkle with crushed candy canes, sprinkles, cranberries, and nuts.
- Let the bark set at room temperature for 1–2 hours or refrigerate for 30 minutes to speed up the process.
