Description

These White Chocolate Cranberry Pecan Clusters are the perfect sweet treat for any occasion! With a creamy white chocolate base, tart cranberries, and crunchy pecans, these clusters are simple to make and irresistibly delicious. A pinch of salt enhances the sweetness of the white chocolate, balancing out the tart cranberries for a perfect sweet-and-salty flavor. These clusters make a great gift, snack, or holiday treat!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups white chocolate chips
  • 1 cup dried cranberries
  • 1 cup pecans, roughly chopped
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt (optional)

Instructions

  • Melt the White Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the white chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring in between each interval until fully melted and smooth. Be cautious not to overheat the chocolate.
  • Add the Mix-Ins: Stir in the chopped pecans, dried cranberries, vanilla extract, and salt (if using) until everything is well coated with the melted white chocolate.
  • Form the Clusters: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto the sheet, forming clusters. You can make them as large or small as you like.
  • Let Them Set: Allow the clusters to set at room temperature for about 1 hour, or place them in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes to speed up the process.
  • Serve: Once the clusters are firm, they are ready to enjoy! Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature or in the fridge.

Notes

  • Sweet and salty: Adding a pinch of salt brings out the sweetness of the white chocolate and balances the tartness of the cranberries for the perfect flavor.
  • Storage: Store leftover clusters in an airtight container for up to 1 week, or in the fridge for a firmer texture.
  • Customizable: Feel free to add other mix-ins like almonds, walnuts, or mini marshmallows to make these clusters your own.
  • Gift idea: These clusters make great homemade gifts, especially when packaged in cute jars or tins.
