Ingredients
- 1 cup dried cranberries (Craisins)
- 0.5 cup chopped nuts (almonds, pecans, or walnuts)
- 1 cup dark or semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 0.25 teaspoon sea salt (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat and set aside.
Step 2
In a microwave-safe bowl, add the chocolate chips and microwave in 20-second increments, stirring between each interval, until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.
Step 3
Stir the dried cranberries and chopped nuts into the melted chocolate, ensuring they're evenly coated.
Step 4
Using a spoon, scoop heaping tablespoon-sized portions of the mixture and place them onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them apart slightly.
Step 5
If desired, sprinkle a tiny pinch of sea salt on top of each cluster for a sweet and salty flavor combination.
Step 6
Allow the Craisin Clusters to set by letting them sit at room temperature for 30-45 minutes, or place them in the fridge for about 15 minutes to speed up the process.
Step 7
Once the clusters are firm, remove them from the baking sheet and store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week, or in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
Step 8
Serve and enjoy these delightful Craisin Clusters as a snack or dessert!
