Chocolate Nut & Craisin Clusters image

This is such an easy recipe for a great tasting candy. I originally saw it in the Quick Cooking magazine. I rarely make less than a double recipe and they are always eaten up. These are also great to give away at holiday time or bring to a party. Experiment with flavored chocolates and fruit and nut combinations for something different. Cook time is refrigerator time.

Time 1h5m

Yield 24 pieces

Number Of Ingredients 3

12 ounces chocolate chips
2/3 cup cashews (whole, halved or chopped)
2/3 cup craisins

Steps:

  • Melt chocolate chips in microwave for about 2 minutes.
  • Chips will not appear melted.
  • However, stir them to distribute the heat and get them melted.
  • Add nuts and craisins, stirring until well coated.
  • Drop teaspoonfuls onto a wax-paper lined cookie sheet.
  • Place into refrigerator for about 1 hour.
  • Note: if doubling the recipe, microwave time does not double.
  • Check chips at about 2 1/2 minutes and add small amounts of time until chips are melted.
  • It takes a bit under 3 minutes for a double recipe in my microwave.
