Ingredients:
- 12 oz white chocolate chips
- 1 ½ cups dried cranberries
- 1 ½ cups chopped pecans
Instructions:
1. Melt the White Chocolate:
- Place the white chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl.
- Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth. Alternatively, you can melt the chocolate using a double boiler on the stovetop.
2. Combine Ingredients:
- Stir the dried cranberries and chopped pecans into the melted white chocolate until evenly distributed.
3. Drop onto Parchment Paper:
- Using a teaspoon or a small cookie scoop, drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
4. Cool and Set:
- Allow the candy drops to cool and harden at room temperature. You can also place them in the refrigerator to speed up the process.
5. Serve or Store:
- Once set, enjoy your candy or store it in an airtight container. It can be kept at room temperature for up to a week or in the refrigerator for longer storage.
Tips:
- Variations: Feel free to substitute the dried cranberries with other dried fruits like cherries or apricots, and the pecans with other nuts like almonds or walnuts.
- Additions: For extra flavor, consider adding a pinch of sea salt on top before the chocolate sets.
