Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 3

Ingredients

8 oz good quality dark chocolate chips (although I've used Nestles semi-sweet chocolate chips and they are still very good)
1 c coarsely chopped walnuts, pecans or almonds (make sure the pieces are not too small)
1/2 c dried cranberries (Craisins) or you can use raisins

Steps:

1. Line a small baking sheet with waxed paper.
2. Place chocolate chips in a 2 cup Pyrex measuring cup and microwave on 50% power for approx 25 seconds - then stir well. Continue doing this until the chocolate chips are almost completely melted - reducing the time as you go. Be careful to not let the chocolate burn.
3. Add the nuts and dried cranberries to the melted chocolate and mix well.
4. Drop tablespoon fulls of the chocolate mixture onto the waxed paper-covered cookie sheet.
5. Place in the fridge for at least 15 minutes. Enjoy.
6. I like to store mine in the freezer.

Tips:

Make sure to use a good quality dark chocolate that is at least 70% cocoa solids. This will give the clusters a rich, deep flavor.
If you don't have any nuts on hand, you can substitute seeds or dried fruit instead.
Be careful not to overcook the chocolate. It should be melted but still slightly thick.
If you don't have any parchment paper, you can grease a baking sheet with butter or cooking spray instead.
Store the clusters in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

Conclusion:

Dark chocolate nut clusters are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. They are also a great way to use up leftover chocolate and nuts. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a delicious snack that everyone will love.
