Chocolate Cranberry Pecan Drops

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.
