Hello,
I'm preparing the snacks for my book club meeting. Usually the snack
foods are taken from some mention in the current book we're reading.
We just finished Skipping Christmas, and the foods that stick out in
my mind are white chocolate and pistachios. Does anyone have a good
(but easy) recipe that includes one or both? Also, any ideas for a
beverage? This will be a small group 6-8, and the meeting will be in
the library of an elementary school so I won't be able to heat
anything.

Looks like white chocolate 'bark' is simplicity itself. Melt
chocolate, add nuts, pour onto a wax-paper-covered baking sheet and
spread out. Cool. Break into pieces.

That's what I do. I also add dried cherries to the chocolate (gives it
a festive, Christmasy look) and sometimes thin pretzels broken up into
small pieces.
