👩‍🍳 Instructions

Place the white chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl.
Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth and fully melted.
2. Add Cranberries & Pecans
Stir the dried cranberries and chopped pecans into the melted chocolate. Mix well to ensure every bite is full of festive goodness.
3. Spoon Onto Parchment
Drop the mixture by teaspoonfuls onto a parchment-lined baking sheet.
4. Let It Set

5. Serve or Store
Once firm, transfer to an airtight container. Store at room temp for up to a week or refrigerate for longer shelf life.
