For the Clusters
  • 1 cup White Chocolate substitute with vegan white chocolate for a dairy-free version
  • 1 cup Pecans can substitute with almonds, walnuts, or cashews

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by toasting the pecans in a dry skillet over medium heat for 2–3 minutes until fragrant.
  2. Melt the white chocolate in a heat-proof bowl, microwaving in 20-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
  3. Combine the melted white chocolate with the toasted pecans, dried cranberries, and a pinch of salt; stir until evenly coated.
  4. Drop heaping tablespoons of the mixture onto a parchment-lined baking sheet; ensure enough space between each.
  5. Allow the clusters to cool for about 10 minutes at room temperature or in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes until firm.
  6. Melt an additional 2–3 tablespoons of white chocolate and drizzle over the cooled clusters for an elegant finish.
