Delightful White Chocolate Cranberry Pecan Clusters combine creamy white chocolate with tart dried cranberries and crunchy toasted pecans, creating an easy no-bake treat perfect for snacking or gifting.

Ingredients

Scale

Chocolate Base

  • 1 cup white chocolate chips (choose real cocoa butter for best flavor)
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 pinch flaky sea salt

Add-ins

  • ½ cup dried cranberries
  • ½ cup pecans, roughly chopped & toasted

Instructions

  1. Prep: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent the clusters from sticking and to make cleanup easier.
  2. Toast Nuts: In a dry skillet over medium heat, toast the pecans for 3 to 5 minutes until fragrant, stirring occasionally to prevent burning. Remove from heat and allow to cool completely.
  3. Melt Chocolate: Place white chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave in 20-second bursts, stirring well between each, until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.
  4. Mix: Stir the vanilla extract and flaky sea salt into the melted white chocolate to enhance flavor. Then gently fold in the dried cranberries and toasted pecans until everything is evenly coated with chocolate.
  5. Shape: Using a spoon, drop small spoonfuls of the mixture onto the prepared parchment paper. Don’t worry about making them perfect; rustic shapes add charm.
  6. Set: Allow the clusters to set at room temperature for 30 to 45 minutes until firm, or place them in the refrigerator for 15 to 20 minutes for quicker setting.

Notes

  • Use high-quality white chocolate with real cocoa butter for the best taste and texture.
  • You can substitute pecans with walnuts or almonds as desired.
  • Store clusters in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week or refrigerate for longer freshness.
  • For a festive touch, sprinkle a little extra flaky sea salt on top before the clusters set.
  • These clusters make a great homemade gift when packaged in decorative boxes or bags.
