Step-by-Step Instructions

Ready to whip up these festive, no-bake treats? Follow these easy steps:

Step 1: Melt the Chocolate

  2. Stir in vanilla extract and a pinch of sea salt.

Step 2: Mix in the Goodies

  1. Gently fold the dried cranberries and chopped pecans into the melted chocolate. Add optional coconut, zest, or cinnamon here.

Step 3: Form the Clusters

  1. Use a small cookie scoop or spoon to drop clusters (about 1–2 tablespoons each) onto a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  2. Sprinkle with extra sea salt or cranberries for garnish.

Step 4: Set and Chill

  1. Refrigerate the clusters for 30–60 minutes , until firm.

Step 5: Store or Serve

  1. Keep clusters in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 weeks or at room temperature for 3–4 days.

Why This Recipe Works So Well

The magic of these clusters lies in their contrast of flavors and textures . The creamy white chocolate coats the tart cranberries and crunchy pecans, creating a symphony of sweet and nutty in every bite. A pinch of salt elevates the sweetness, while optional add-ins like coconut or orange zest add layers of complexity. Best of all, they’re quick to make and require no special skills—just a love for holiday flavors!
