If you're using unsalted nuts, sprinkle each cluster with a little coarse salt before placing in the freezer.
The recipe is completely flexible. Use about 1 cup of add-ins. You can use any nuts or seeds, any dried fruit, coconut chips, etc. Dried cherries or blueberries are nice. Pecans or peanuts work well! Any combo or single-ingredient works. For peppermint nut clusters, add a few drops of peppermint extract to the chocolate.
