Crispy Craisin Nut Crunch – Gail Fuller, Raleigh (1st place)
I use 10-12 oz. of white chocolate. This was very easy and great for the holidays. They will firm up and come together while they are cooling so mound them together on wax paper and let them sit. Then drizzle with the dark or milk chocolate.

Add pecans, dried cranberries and crispy rice cereal to melted chips and stir until evenly coated.
Drop by tablespoons onto wax paper. The mixture will not stick together very well until cooled.
Cool about 15 minutes in refrigerator.
Melt ¼ cup chocolate chips over boiling water and drizzle over each cluster.
