Chocolate Cranberry Clusters

Chocolate Cranberry Clusters

A fast, easy and decadent no bake holiday treat!! Chocolate Cranberry Clusters clusters are so versatile that you can easily add whatever ingredients you would love. I have made them with peanut butter chips instead of butterscotch, added chopped nuts to the cranberries in place of the raisins, and even made a batch with white chocolate chips and crushed candy canes! No matter which variations I have used, these little clusters are ALWAYS a hit with both kids and adults alike!

Ingredients
  

  • 1½ cups semisweet chocolate chips
  • 1 cup dried cranberries
  • 1 cup corn flakes, slightly crushed (or substitute puffed rice cereal)
  • ½ cup raisins
  • ¼ cup butterscotch morsels

Equipment

  • 1 heat-proof bowl
  • 1 large bowl
  • 1 pot
  • 2 cookie sheets

Method
 

  1. Line 2 cookie sheets with parchment or waxed paper. Melt the chocolate in a heat-proof bowl over a pot of simmering water, or a double boiler (stirring frequently so the chocolate does not scorch.)
  2. While the chocolate is melting, combine the dried cranberries, raisins, cornflakes and butterscotch morsels in a large bowl. Pour the melted chocolate over the cranberry mixture and stir well to combine.
  3. Drop the mixture by the teaspoonful onto the lined cookie sheets and refrigerate until firm (about 15 to 20 minutes). Store the clusters in the refrigerator or in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.

Notes

Experiment with different chocolate varieties, such as dark, milk, or white chocolate, to personalize the flavor of your clusters. Don't be afraid to mix and match!
