How to Make (Step-by-Step Guide) :

Line two or three baking sheets with parchment or wax paper to prepare for your Slow Cooker White Chocolate Cranberry Clusters. Break the vanilla almond bark into small chunks and place them in your slow cooker, then sprinkle the white chocolate chips on top. Set the slow cooker to low heat, cover it with the lid, and let the chocolate melt slowly for about one hour without stirring. Check the mixture after an hour — if it’s not fully melted and silky smooth, continue cooking for an additional 15–30 minutes, stirring occasionally until perfectly blended and glossy.

Once the chocolate has melted into a smooth, creamy consistency, gently fold in the dried cranberries and chopped pecans until they’re evenly coated in the rich white chocolate mixture. Keep your slow cooker on the warm setting to prevent the chocolate from hardening while you scoop. Using a small cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto the prepared parchment-lined baking sheets, spacing them slightly apart to keep the clusters from touching. Let the clusters set at room temperature for 1–2 hours until firm, or refrigerate for 30–45 minutes if you prefer a quicker setting time.
