White Chocolate Cranberry Pecan Clusters are a sweet and crunchy treat that’s perfect for the holidays or anytime you’re craving something indulgent. They’re easy to make, and the combination of creamy white chocolate, tart cranberries, and crunchy pecans is absolutely delicious! Here’s a simple recipe to make them:
Ingredients:
- 12 oz white chocolate chips (or chopped white chocolate)
- 1 cup dried cranberries
- 1 cup pecan halves (or pieces)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
- Pinch of salt (optional)
Instructions:
-
Melt the white chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the white chocolate in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval until smooth. Alternatively, you can melt the chocolate using a double boiler on the stovetop. Stir in the vanilla extract if using.
-
Prepare the mix-ins: In a separate bowl, combine the dried cranberries and pecans.
-
Combine: Once the white chocolate is fully melted, pour it over the cranberries and pecans. Stir gently until everything is well coated.
-
Form clusters: Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Space them out a bit, as they may spread slightly.
-
Chill: Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for 30-60 minutes, or until the chocolate has completely set.
-
Serve and enjoy: Once the clusters are firm, you can transfer them to an airtight container. They will keep for about a week in a cool place, or you can refrigerate them for longer shelf life.
These clusters make for a great gift or a sweet snack, and they’re super easy to whip up! Enjoy!
