Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams dark chocolate chips
- 150 grams dried cranberries
- 150 grams pecan halves
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 teaspoon coconut oil (optional, for smoother chocolate)
Instructions
Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Place the dark chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl. If using coconut oil, add it to the bowl to help the chocolate melt smoothly.
Microwave the chocolate in 30-second intervals, stirring thoroughly after each interval, until completely melted and smooth (about 1.5–2 minutes total). Alternatively, melt the chocolate in a heatproof bowl over a pot of simmering water (double boiler method).
Let the melted chocolate cool slightly for 1–2 minutes to prevent overheating the other ingredients.
Gently fold the dried cranberries and pecan halves into the melted chocolate until evenly coated.
Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop clusters of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. Aim for roughly 1–2 tablespoons per cluster.
Sprinkle a small pinch of sea salt over the top of each cluster while the chocolate is still melted.
Refrigerate the clusters for 20–30 minutes, or until the chocolate is completely set.
Once set, remove the clusters from the baking sheet and store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week, or in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
Enjoy as a snack or share as a homemade gift!
