Scale
Ingredients
- 12 oz white chocolate chips
- 1.5 cups dried cranberries
- 1.5 cups chopped pecans
Instructions
- Melt the chocolate: Melt the white chocolate chips gently either in the microwave using short bursts, stirring frequently to prevent burning, or over a double boiler until completely smooth.
- Mix in ingredients: Stir the dried cranberries and chopped pecans thoroughly into the melted white chocolate until all the pieces are evenly coated.
- Form candy clusters: Using a teaspoon, drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto a sheet of parchment paper, spacing them out to allow for easy cooling.
- Cool and harden: Let the candy drops cool and harden either at room temperature or place the tray in the refrigerator for faster setting. Once firm, they are ready to serve or package as gifts.
Notes
- Use high-quality white chocolate chips for the best flavor and smooth texture.
- For a variation, substitute pecans with walnuts or almonds.
- Store the candies in an airtight container at room temperature or in the fridge to maintain freshness.
- These candy clusters do not require baking, making them a quick and easy holiday treat.
