Ingredients
  

Ingredients for Clusters
  • 1 cup white chocolate chips Look for high-quality brands like Ghirardelli or Nestlé for a smooth melt.
  • 1/2 cup dried cranberries Opt for unsweetened for tartness, or sweetened for extra sweetness.
  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans Toast beforehand to enhance flavor.
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt Helps balance the sweetness.
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract Use pure vanilla for better flavor.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Melt the white chocolate: Place the chips in a microwave-safe bowl and heat at 50% power for 30 seconds. Stir and return for 15-second intervals until smooth.
  2. Mix in the ingredients: Add cranberries, pecans, salt, and vanilla to the melted chocolate, stirring until coated.
  3. Drop spoonfuls onto parchment-lined baking sheets, aiming for tablespoon-sized dollops.
  4. Chill to set for 15-20 minutes in the refrigerator or let cool at room temperature.
  5. Serve or package as gifts.

Notes

Store clusters in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week, or in the fridge for two weeks. Great for holiday gifting!
