Step 1: Melt the White Chocolate
Place the white chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between each session. Repeat until the chocolate is completely smooth and melted. Avoid overheating to prevent burning.

Step 2: Combine Ingredients
Once the white chocolate is melted, add the dried cranberries, chopped pecans, vanilla extract, and sea salt (if using). Stir the mixture well until the cranberries and pecans are evenly coated with the melted chocolate.

Step 3: Form Clusters
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Using a spoon or a small cookie scoop, drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them apart to avoid sticking. Aim for evenly-sized clusters for consistent serving portions.

Step 4: Chill the Clusters
Transfer the baking sheet to the refrigerator. Chill the clusters for about 30 minutes, or until they are firm and fully set.

Step 5: Serve or Store
Once the clusters are set, gently remove them from the parchment paper. Store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week or in the refrigerator for longer shelf life.
