Ingredients: 2 cups (12 ounces) semisweet chocolate chips; 2/3 cup dried cranberries; 2/3 cup cashews

You just need three ingredients to stir up these chewy and crunchy treats that make a nice addition to a candy tray. I sometimes use white chocolate in place of semisweet and replace the cashews with macadamia nuts.—Kari Kelley, Plains, Montana

Ingredients

2 cups (12 ounces) semisweet chocolate chips
2/3 cup dried cranberries
2/3 cup cashews

Directions

In a heavy saucepan or microwave, melt the chocolate chips; stir until smooth. Stir in the cranberries and cashews. Drop by teaspoonfuls onto a waxed paper-lined baking sheet. Let stand until set. Store in an airtight container.
