Ingredients
  

For the Clusters
  • 2 cups white chocolate chips or chopped white almond bark Use good-quality white chocolate for creamier flavor.
  • 1 cup dried cranberries Use sweetened cranberries unless you prefer extra tartness.
  • 1 cup chopped pecans Toast your pecans lightly for deeper flavor; unsalted works best.
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 pinch salt

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Line a baking sheet with parchment or wax paper.
  2. Place the white chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl and melt it in 30-second bursts, stirring each time until smooth.
  3. Stir in the vanilla and a pinch of salt.
  4. Fold in the cranberries and chopped pecans until evenly coated in chocolate.
  5. Drop spoonfuls onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about an inch apart.
  6. Sprinkle extra pecans on top for decoration.
  7. Let them set at room temperature for about 30 minutes or refrigerate for 15 minutes.

Notes

For a slightly different texture, stir melted chocolate with a spoonful of fudge mix. You can toast pecans in a dry skillet for time-saving and add a teaspoon of vegetable oil if white chocolate seizes.
