Description
White Chocolate Cranberry Pecan Clusters are bite-sized, no-bake treats featuring creamy white chocolate, tart dried cranberries, and crunchy pecans—perfect for snacking or gifting.
Ingredients
2 cups white chocolate chips (or chopped white chocolate)
1 cup dried cranberries
1 cup pecans, chopped (or whole for extra texture)
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
Pinch of sea salt (optional)
Instructions
- Roughly chop pecans (optional: toast in a dry skillet for 3–4 minutes to enhance flavor).
- Melt white chocolate chips in 30-second intervals in the microwave, stirring until smooth (or use a double boiler).
- Stir in dried cranberries, chopped pecans, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until evenly coated.
- Drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, forming 1–2 inch clusters.
- Refrigerate for 20–30 minutes until set and firm.
- Serve or store in an airtight container.
Notes
Drizzle extra melted white chocolate over clusters for a decorative finish.
Use dark or semi‑sweet chocolate for a less sweet option.
Swap pecans for walnuts, almonds, or pistachios.
Add orange or lemon zest for a citrusy twist.
Use dairy‑free chocolate chips to make it vegan.
