I made these best No-Bake White Chocolate Cranberry Oat Clusters the first December I moved into my own place. No oven, barely any counter space—but I still wanted something sweet, fast, and festive. I had oats, cranberries, white chocolate, and a jar of almond butter. That was enough.
I melted it all together, dropped them into clusters, and popped them in the fridge. Ten minutes later, I had chewy, creamy, cranberry-loaded magic. Still one of my favorite fridge treats.
