Cranberry Clusters Recipes

CHOCOLATE PECAN CRANBERRY CLUSTERS

Steps:

• Line two large baking trays with parchment paper.
• Place the chocolate in a double boiler over simmering water on the stovetop on low to medium heat. Stir until melted, about 3 - 4 minutes. Remove from heat.
• Add chopped pecans and cranberries to the melted chocolate and stir to combine.
• Mound spoonfuls onto a baking tray. I used a tablespoon. Refrigerate for at least one hour.
• Remove from the fridge and take off the parchment paper. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.

CHOCOLATE NUT CRANBERRY CLUSTERS

Steps:

• 1. Line a small baking sheet with waxed paper.
• 2. Place chocolate chips in a 2 cup Pyrex measuring cup and microwave on 50% power for approx 25 seconds - then stir well. Continue doing this until the chocolate chips are almost completely melted - reducing the time as you go. Be careful to not let the chocolate burn.
• 3. Add the nuts and dried cranberries to the melted chocolate and mix well.
• 4. Drop tablespoon fulls of the chocolate mixture onto the waxed paper-covered cookie sheet.
• 5. Place in the fridge for at least 15 minutes. Enjoy.
• 6. I like to store mine in the freezer.

CRANBERRY CLUSTERS

Steps:

• 1. Line a baking sheet with wax paper; set aside
• 2. In a medium-size bowl, stir together cranberries, almonds and pretzel pieces. Mix
• 3. Place chocolate in a medium size microwave safe bowl or a medium size sauce pan and melt the chocolate till completely melted. I prefer using a pan on stove but either works. I personally just try to use the microwave as least amount as possible.
• 4. Stir cranberry mixture into chocolate until it's all evenly coated. Place a heaping tablespoon of mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, making it a rounded mound. Repeat till you have used all the mixture up. Chill for about 20 minutes before serving.
