Easy White Chocolate Clusters With Fruit And Nuts Recipes

Steps:

• Line a baking sheet with waxed paper. In a small bowl, combine dried fruits and nuts.
• Heat white-chocolate chips in a heatproof bowl set over a pan of simmering water, stirring until smooth.
• Drop level tablespoons of melted chocolate onto prepared sheet, 2 inches apart. Mound fruit-nut mixture on top, pressing in gently. Refrigerate until set, 15 to 20 minutes.

Steps:

• Line a mini muffin tin with mini (1 1/4-inch) cupcake/candy liners, or set them on a baking sheet or other rigid surface. Set aside.
• Fill a medium saucepan with about an inch of water and put over high heat. Bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and set a double boiler or metal bowl on top of the pan. Pour the chocolate chips in the bowl and stir constantly just until melted. Remove from heat.
• Pour two cups of granola into the chocolate and stir until coated.
• Using two spoons or a cookie scoop, scoop melted chocolate and granola mixture by the tablespoonful into liners. Sprinkle with granola (I try to include a nut and a piece of fruit on top of each one to help people know what to expect when they bite into one).
• Let sit at room temperature for about 2 hours, or until hard.
• Clusters keep at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 5 days.

Steps:

• Microwave chocolate in medium microwaveable bowl on HIGH 2 min. or until chocolate is almost melted; stir until completely melted.
• Stir in remaining ingredients.
• Spoon 1 tsp. chocolate mixture into each of 48 mini paper muffin cup liners. Refrigerate 10 min. or until firm.
