2 cups white chocolate chips choose high-quality chips for a smoother melt.
1 cup dried cranberries opt for unsweetened cranberries to keep from becoming too sugary.
1 cup pecan halves toast these lightly for an enhanced nutty flavor.
1 teaspoon vanilla extract a splash of pure vanilla adds depth to the sweetness.
¼ teaspoon salt a pinch of salt enhances the overall flavor.
½ teaspoon orange zest optional for a delightful citrus twist.

Prepare your workspace by lining a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the white chocolate chips while stirring continuously for about 5 minutes until smooth.
Once melted, remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract and salt. If using orange zest, add it in now.
Gently fold in dried cranberries and pecan halves until thoroughly coated.
Drop heaping tablespoon-sized portions onto the prepared baking sheet and slightly shape each mound.
Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes until clusters are firm to the touch.
Once set, store in an airtight container at room temperature or in the fridge.

These clusters are great for quick snacks or as thoughtful gifts. Keep them in an airtight container to maintain freshness.
