Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the dark chocolate chips and coconut oil.
Microwave on medium power in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval, until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.
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.
Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes, or until the clusters have set completely.
Once set, remove the clusters from the parchment paper and store them in an airtight container at room temperature or in the refrigerator.
