Time 15m

Yield 12 clusters

Number Of Ingredients 3

Ingredients

1 cup toasted almond, coarsely chopped
1/2 cup dried cranberries, coarsely chopped
6 ounces dark chocolate, finely chopped

Steps:

In a medium bowl, toss together the almonds and the cherries. Line a baking sheet with waxed paper.
Melt half the chocolate in the top of a double boiler over slightly simmering water, over the lowest possible heat, stirring frequently. Make sure the water is not touching the top pan. Remove the double boiler from the heat and stir in the rest of the chocolate. Remove the top pan with the chocolate in it, gently wipe the bottom of it and set it aside for a moment. Replace the simmering water in the bottom pan with warm tap water. Put the pan of melted chocolate on top of the warm water. This will keep the chocolate at the right temperature while you make the clusters.
Stir the fruit-nut mixture into the chocolate. Spoon out heaping tablespoon-sized clusters of the chocolate mixture onto the baking sheet about 1-inch apart. Put them in the refrigerator to set for 15 minutes.

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.
