- Perfect Make Ahead Treat – Almond bark sets quickly and stays fresh for days, making these clusters ideal for holiday prep, parties, and edible gifts.
Ingredients You’ll Need:
- 1 1/2 cups Salted Mixed Nuts – The crunchy, salty base that gives each cluster texture and balance.
- 1/2 cup Kix Cereal – Adds light, airy crispiness that keeps the clusters from feeling too dense.
- 1 (24 oz) package White Almond Bark – Melts into a smooth, sweet coating that holds everything together.

How to Make Almond Bark Clusters
- Line countertop with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, mix together 1/2 cup Kix cereal and 1 1/2 cups salted mixed nuts.
- In a sauce pan over low heat, break up the squares of 1 (24 oz) package of white almond bark and stir constantly just until melted. You don’t want the almond bark too hot or it will soften the Kix.
- Then poor white chocolate over the nut mixture and mix until well coated. You may need to add additional cereal and nuts according to your preference.
- Drop a spoonful of mixture onto the parchment paper, making a cluster. Then continue until the mixture is gone.
- Sprinkle Christmas sprinkles on top of each cluster while still wet and let harden.
My Best Tips:
- Watch Almond Bark Temperature – You don’t want the almond bark too hot or it will soften the Kix cereal. Use gentle heat to keep it from overheating.
- Use Salted Nuts for Balance – The sweet almond bark needs that salty contrast to keep the clusters from tasting overly sweet.
- Use a Cookie Scoop for Perfect Portions – It creates evenly sized clusters that look great on cookie trays and in gift boxes.
- Store in a Cool Place – Warm kitchens can soft almond bark – the fridge keeps them snappy and fresh.
- Add Additional Nuts & Cereal if Needed – You may need to add additional cereal and nuts according to your preference.
