Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 cup white chocolate chips Use high-quality white chocolate for best flavor.
- 1 cup dried cranberries For a different flavor profile, try dried cherries or raisins.
- 1 cup chopped pecans You can substitute walnuts or almonds if preferred.
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract Feel free to use almond extract for a unique twist.
Instructions
Preparation
- In a microwave-safe bowl, add the white chocolate chips. Heat them in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring each time, until fully melted and smooth.
- Once melted, add the dried cranberries and chopped pecans to the white chocolate. Pour in the vanilla extract and mix well until all ingredients are fully coated.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Using a spoon, drop small clusters of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them apart to allow for spreading.
- Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator and allow the clusters to chill for about 30 minutes, or until they are firm and set.
- Serve chilled or at room temperature, and enjoy!
Notes
Be careful not to overheat the white chocolate; stirring regularly helps prevent burning. Allow the clusters to sit out for a few minutes after refrigeration to soften if they are too hard. Experiment with adding a pinch of sea salt on top for a sweet and salty combination. For added flavor, consider toasting the pecans before mixing them in.
