With just 15 minutes prep and then about an hour in the fridge, these No-Bake Chocolate Cranberry Almond Clusters are ready to pop in your mouth for a snack you and your kids can feel good about!

No-Bake Chocolate Cranberry Almond ClustersBoth of my boys are huge snackers.  All day, every day they ask for snack after snack after snack.  Simon's big thing right now is grabbing the M&M's from my baking cabinet, then handing me a bowl asking me to pour some of those M&M's into his bowl.  Yes, he's not even two years old!

Judah, on the other hand, understands the limits when it comes to snack time.  He still wants to eat 24/7, but because he is old enough to know that I will not give him food all day he at least looks at the clock and will say "Oh, I guess it's not snack time."  HA!

We'll have cheese crackers, apples and peanut butter, popcorn, pretzels, gummies, suckers, Pirate's Booty, string cheese, etc. etc. etc.  But, even with this multitude of choices, I like to switch it up and have them try something new.  A few weeks ago, I received a fun sample box from Big G cereals with their new Cheerios + Ancient Grains cereals, along with their gluten free Chex quick-cooking oats.  Along with the box were a few recipes, and I decided to adapt one of them to our liking for a new snack that day -- resulting in this No-Bake Chocolate Cranberry Almond Clusters recipe.

No-Bake Chocolate Cranberry Almond ClustersWe ended up loving these clusters!  They stayed fresh in our fridge for a few days which was perfect for a grab 'n go bite when we needed a quick pick-me-up.  Ben took a couple to work and the boys and I would snack on them through out the day.

These clusters a great source of energy and strength with the nutrients from the nut butter, cranberries and oats.  You can sub the nut butter with peanut butter, or try mixing in your favorite additions to make it your own!
