Print Recipe

These white chocolate cranberry pecan clusters are a quick, no-bake holiday treat that combines sweet, tart, and nutty flavors with creamy white chocolate.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup white chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup dried cranberries
  • 1/2 cup toasted pecans
  • Sea salt (optional)

Instructions

  1. Toast the pecans: If your pecans aren’t pre-toasted, spread them on a baking sheet and toast them in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 8-10 minutes, until fragrant. Let them cool completely.
  2. Melt the white chocolate: Place the white chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until completely melted and smooth. Be careful not to overheat, as white chocolate can scorch easily.
  3. Combine ingredients: Fold the toasted pecans and dried cranberries into the melted white chocolate. Stir gently to ensure everything is evenly coated.
  4. Form the clusters: Drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Use a teaspoon or cookie scoop to keep them uniform in size.
  5. Add sea salt: If desired, sprinkle a tiny pinch of sea salt on each cluster for an extra flavor boost.
  6. Set the clusters: Let the clusters cool at room temperature until the chocolate hardens. If you’re in a hurry, place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for about 10-15 minutes.

Notes

Toast the pecans for enhanced flavor, use high-quality white chocolate for the best taste, and work quickly to form clusters before the chocolate hardens.
