NO-BAKE CHOCOLATE CLUSTERS
These little cookies are a bunch of good things all at once: crunchy and chewy, sweet and salty, craggy and never neat, or ever the same, which is just as they should be. The must-have ingredients are melted chocolate, either dark or white (or both), and cornflakes. The coconut is optional, and the cranberries are up for grabs - you can swap them for raisins or small bits of other dried fruit. Since these require nothing but melting and stirring, and because the ingredients are so basic, these can be a spur-of-the-moment cookie, a boon when there's often not enough time.

Steps:
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a baking mat or with 40 mini-muffin liners.
- If you're using white chocolate, use 6 tablespoons/85 grams butter. For semisweet chocolate, use 8 tablespoons/113 grams butter. Put the butter in a small saucepan, top with the chocolate and cook over very low heat, stirring almost constantly, until smooth. (Alternatively, you can stir in a heatproof bowl set over simmering water or in a microwave-safe bowl in a microwave, stirring in 20-second increments.)
- Meanwhile, toss the cornflakes, cranberries and coconut, if using, in a large bowl. Pour over the melted chocolate and gently stir in with a flexible spatula. Some of the cereal will break - it's inevitable - but keep working until you've coated all of the flakes.
- Use a medium cookie scoop or two spoons to shape sweets either on the lined baking sheet or in the paper liners. Gently press the mixture into the scoop or a spoon, binding the elements, before releasing the scoop or scraping the mixture off the spoon with another spoon onto the sheet or into the liners. Finish with salt and sprinkles, if using.
- Refrigerate or freeze (my preference) for about 30 minutes, or until set, before serving. To keep, cover and refrigerate for up to a week or freeze for up to a month. These are good straight from the fridge or just a few minutes out of the freezer.

Tips:
- Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all the necessary ingredients and tools ready. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling during the cooking process.
- Use Quality Ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will greatly impact the final product. Use high-quality chocolate, nuts, and other ingredients to ensure the best flavor.
- Temper the Chocolate: Tempering the chocolate is an important step that helps to stabilize the chocolate and give it a smooth, glossy finish. If you don't temper the chocolate, it may be more likely to seize or become grainy.
- Use a Variety of Nuts: Don't be afraid to experiment with different types of nuts in your chocolate clusters. Some popular choices include almonds, peanuts, walnuts, and pecans.
- Add Other Mix-Ins: In addition to nuts, you can also add other mix-ins to your chocolate clusters, such as dried fruit, seeds, or even bacon. Get creative and have fun!
