Ingredients
Method
In heatproof bowl set over saucepan of hot (not boiling) water, melt chocolate. Stir in almonds, blueberries, cranberries and sunflower seeds to coat.
Drop by 1 tbsp onto waxed or parchment paper–lined baking sheets; refrigerate until firm, about 30 minutes. (Make-ahead: Layer between waxed paper in airtight container; store for up to 1 week.)
Tip from The Test Kitchen: If you're making these for gifting, set the clusters in small paper muffin liners. This will help ensure that they're a uniform size for packing in gift boxes.
