     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.
