Ingredients

  • 1 cup pecan halves
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 1/2 cups sweetened flaked coconut
  • 1/2 cup chopped dried cranberries
  • 1/2 cuo chopped semisweet chocolate morsel

    2. 2
      Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper or use a non-stick cookie sheet, set aside.
    3. 3
      Toss the pecans in the melted butter to evenly coat.
    4. 4
      Spread the nuts on an ungreased baking sheet and bake 10 to 15 minutes, or until golden. Set aside to cool, then roughly chop.

    8. 8

    Great taste but I couldn't get the darn things to stick together, in spite of the sticky sweetened condensed milk.
