Subj : Easy Desserts - 15 To : All From : Dave Drum Date : Sun Jan 15 2023 05:00:00 MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.06 Title: No-Bake Chocolate Clusters Categories: Cookies, Chocolate, Snacks, Fruits Yield: 40 servings 8 tb (113 g) unsalted butter; in - chunks 12 oz (340 g) white chocolate - bars; chop'd, or semisweet Chocolate chips 4 c (113 g) cornflakes 1 c (120 g) moist, plump dried - cranberries 1/3 c (25 g) unsweetened shredded - coconut Fleur de sel or fine sea - salt; for finishing Sprinkles; for finishing Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a baking mat or with 40 mini-muffin liners. If you're using white chocolate, use 6 tb (85 g) butter. For semisweet chocolate, use 8 tablespoons (113 g) butter. Put the butter in a small saucepan, top with the chocolate and cook over very low heat, stirring almost constantly, until smooth. (Alternatively, you can stir in a heatproof bowl set over simmering water or in a microwave-safe bowl in a microwave, stirring in 20-second increments.) Meanwhile, toss the cornflakes, cranberries and coconut, if using, in a large bowl. Pour over the melted chocolate and gently stir in with a flexible spatula. Some of the cereal will break - it's inevitable - but keep working until you've coated all of the flakes. Use a medium cookie scoop or two spoons to shape sweets either on the lined baking sheet or in the paper liners. Gently press the mixture into the scoop or a spoon, binding the elements, before releasing the scoop or scraping the mixture off the spoon with another spoon onto the sheet or into the liners. Finish with salt and sprinkles, if using. Refrigerate or freeze (my preference) for about 30 minutes, or until set, before serving. To keep, cover and refrigerate for up to a week or freeze for up to a month. These are good straight from the fridge or just a few minutes out of the freezer.
