Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups white chocolate chips Use good quality white chocolate chips for best melting and flavor.
  • 1 cup dried cranberries Adds a delightful tartness to balance the sweetness.
  • 1 cup pecans, chopped For extra crunch and flavor, lightly toast the pecans before adding.
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Pure vanilla extract enhances the overall aroma and taste.
  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt A pinch of sea salt beautifully contrasts the sweetness.

Equipment

  • Baking Sheet
  • Parchment Paper
  • Heatproof bowl

Method
 

  1. Melt the white chocolate chips in a heatproof bowl over a saucepan of simmering water (double boiler method) or in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
  2. Once melted, remove the chocolate from heat and stir in the dried cranberries, chopped pecans, vanilla extract, and sea salt until all ingredients are well combined.
  3. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, forming individual clusters.
  4. Refrigerate the clusters for at least 30 minutes, or until completely set. Once firm, store in an airtight container at room temperature or in the refrigerator.
