How to Make Group Hugs

  1. Place 1 pound of white chocolate, chopped, in a single layer on the bottom of your slow cooker. Sprinkle 1 cup of slivered almonds and 1/2 cup of dried cranberries evenly over the chocolate.
  2. Cook on low for 1 1/2 to 2 hours, or until the chocolate is softened and easily stirred but not completely melted. Stir gently every 30 minutes to ensure even melting.
  3. Turn off the slow cooker. Gently stir the ingredients until well combined. Using a spoon, drop rounded spoonfuls of the mixture onto a baking sheet lined with wax paper, leaving some space between each cluster.
  4. Refrigerate for at least 3 hours, or until the clusters are firm and set before serving.
