A delightful treat combining the richness of chocolate with the crunch of nuts and the sweetness of dried berries.
Place the dark chocolate morsels in a microwave-safe bowl.
Use a microwave-safe bowl to ensure even melting of the chocolate.
Microwave the chocolate on high for 1 minute, then stir.
Stirring helps distribute the heat evenly and prevents burning.
Continue microwaving in 10-20 second intervals, stirring after each, until smooth.
Be cautious not to overheat the chocolate as it can seize.
Let the melted chocolate cool slightly.
Cooling slightly helps the chocolate coat the ingredients better.
Mix in the dried cranberries and roasted salted cashews.
Ensure the ingredients are evenly coated with chocolate for consistent clusters.
Drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto a waxed paper-lined baking sheet.
Use a spoon to create evenly sized clusters for uniformity.
Refrigerate the clusters until firm.
Refrigerating helps the clusters set quickly and maintain their shape.
Serve the clusters as a delightful snack or dessert.
Arrange the clusters on a decorative plate for an appealing presentation.
