Ingredients You’ll Need
For the Clusters:
12 oz white chocolate chips (or high-quality white chocolate bars, chopped)
1 cup dried cranberries (sweetened or unsweetened, depending on preference)
1 cup pecans, roughly chopped (toasted for extra flavor)
Optional: Pinch of sea salt (for a sweet-and-salty twist)
Optional Add-Ins:
Shredded coconut
Chopped pistachios or almonds
Dried apricots or cherries
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Toast the Pecans (Optional but Recommended)
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Spread the chopped pecans evenly on a baking sheet and toast them in the oven for 8–10 minutes, or until fragrant and lightly golden. Let them cool completely before using.
2. Melt the White Chocolate
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the white chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval, until smooth and fully melted. Alternatively, use a double boiler for melting.
Be careful not to overheat the chocolate, as it can seize or burn.
3. Mix the Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted white chocolate, dried cranberries, and toasted pecans. Stir gently until everything is evenly coated with the chocolate.
Optional: Sprinkle in a pinch of sea salt for a sweet-and-salty flavor contrast.
