Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 ounces white chocolate chips
- 1 cup slivered almonds
- 0.75 cup sweetened dried cranberries
- 1 cup mini marshmallows
- 1 cup rice cereal
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon sea salt
Instructions
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat and set aside.
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the white chocolate chips in 30-second increments, stirring after each interval, until smooth and completely melted. Alternatively, melt the chocolate in a double boiler on the stove over low heat.
Stir the vanilla extract and sea salt into the melted white chocolate, mixing well.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the slivered almonds, dried cranberries, mini marshmallows, and rice cereal.
Pour the melted white chocolate over the dry ingredients and gently stir until everything is evenly coated.
Using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop, drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet to form clusters.
Let the clusters cool and set completely at room temperature, about 30-40 minutes. You can also speed up the process by placing the baking sheet in the refrigerator for 15 minutes.
Once set, transfer the clusters to an airtight container for storage. They will keep fresh for up to 1 week at room temperature or 2 weeks in the refrigerator.
