Notes
- Using good quality white chocolate will yield the best flavor.
- Toasting the pecans beforehand adds a richer flavor to your white chocolate cranberry pecan clusters.
- If your kitchen is warm, refrigerating the clusters will help them set faster.
- These clusters can be made nut-free by substituting seeds like pepitas or sunflower seeds for the pecans.
