Line small baking pan with aluminum foil.
In medium bowl, combine first 3 ingredients. Stir until well incorporated.
Add berries, pistachios and almonds to mixture. Fold in until well incorporated. Spread mixture in baking pan and place in freezer for about 2-3 hours, or until hardened.
Once hardened, remove bark from pan and either cut or break up into pieces. Allow to thaw about 5 minutes before eating.
Store remaining bark in freezer. You can experiment with any ingredients you have on hand, such as frozen cherries with dark chocolate chunks, frozen blueberries with unsweetened flaked coconut or dried cranberries with pecans.
Heat oven to 170 F.
Line two baking pans with parchment paper or silicone mats.
Combine all ingredients in blender and puree until smooth. Pour raspberry mixture on both pans and smooth into thin layer, less than 1/8-inch thick.
Bake 3 hours or until mixture is no longer wet, but still slightly tacky, rotating every hour and alternating levels.
Cool pans on wire rack to room temperature. Remove parchment paper (if using), place on cutting board and cut (or tear) into chip-size pieces. Store with fresh pieces of parchment paper between fruit leather layers in airtight container.
Heat oven to 350 F.
Coat 12 nonstick muffin tins with cooking spray and set aside.
