Instructions
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.

Stir in the vanilla extract into the melted chocolate.
Add the roasted almonds and dried cranberries to the melted chocolate mixture, and gently fold until all the pieces are well coated.
Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of the chocolate mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, forming clusters.
Lightly sprinkle sea salt over the clusters for an extra flavor boost.
