Ingredients
Ingredients
- 12 oz white chocolate chips
- 1 cup dried cranberries
- 1 cup pecans, chopped
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt (optional)
Instructions
- Melt the white chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the white chocolate chips by heating in 30-second intervals, stirring thoroughly between each interval until the chocolate is completely smooth and melted.
- Mix ingredients: Stir in the dried cranberries, chopped pecans, vanilla extract, and sea salt (if using) into the melted white chocolate until all ingredients are well coated and evenly distributed.
- Form clusters: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Using a spoon or small cookie scoop, drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto the parchment, spacing them apart to allow for spreading.
- Set the clusters: Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator and chill the clusters for about 30 minutes or until they are fully set and firm.
- Store the clusters: Once set, carefully remove the clusters from the parchment paper and store them in an airtight container. They can be kept at room temperature or refrigerated for longer freshness.
Notes
- Ensure the white chocolate is melted slowly to avoid burning or seizing.
- For extra texture, toast the pecans lightly before mixing.
- Clusters can be customized by adding other nuts or dried fruits if desired.
- Keep clusters stored in an airtight container to maintain freshness and prevent moisture absorption.
