Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 cups white chocolate chips
- 1 cup pecans, roughly chopped
- 1 cup dried cranberries
Flavor Enhancers:
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon salt (optional)
Instructions
- Gently warm white chocolate chips in a microwave-safe container, using short 30-second bursts and stirring between each interval to prevent scorching, creating a silky, uniform melted base.
- Incorporate finely chopped pecans, vibrant dried cranberries, aromatic vanilla extract, and a delicate touch of salt into the molten white chocolate, ensuring each ingredient is completely enveloped by the creamy mixture.
- Prepare a parchment-lined baking tray, then carefully dollop generous spoonfuls of the decadent chocolate blend onto the surface, crafting rustic, free-form clusters with varying sizes and organic shapes.
- Allow the delicate confections to solidify naturally at ambient room temperature, which typically requires approximately 60 minutes for complete transformation, or expedite the process by placing the tray in the refrigerator for a brief 15-20 minute cooling period.
