Step 1: Melt the White Chocolate
1. Melt Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the white chocolate chips in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until smooth. You can also melt it using a double boiler over simmering water.

Step 2: Combine Ingredients
1. Mix Ingredients: Once the white chocolate is melted, remove it from the heat and stir in the dried cranberries and chopped pecans. Add the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt if you’re using them.

Step 3: Form Clusters
1. Scoop Clusters: Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, leaving space between each. Shape them into clusters if needed.

Step 4: Set the Clusters
1. Chill: Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes, or until the clusters are firm and the chocolate is fully set.

Step 5: Serve
1. Store or Serve: Once set, remove the clusters from the refrigerator. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container for up to a week.
