# Step-by-Step:
01 - Line two baking sheets with parchment paper for easy removal of clusters.
02 - Place broken pretzel pieces and pecan halves in a large mixing bowl.
03 - Mix ground ginger, ground cinnamon, ground cloves, ground nutmeg, and salt in a small bowl. Sprinkle the spice mixture over pretzels and pecans, then toss to evenly coat.
04 - In a microwave-safe bowl, combine white chocolate chips and unsalted butter. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until completely smooth and melted.
05 - Pour melted chocolate mixture over the spiced pretzels and pecans. Stir thoroughly until everything is evenly coated.
06 - Spoon tablespoonfuls of the coated mixture onto the prepared baking sheets, shaping into clusters.
07 - Top each cluster immediately with festive sprinkles and/or crushed gingersnap cookies, if desired.
08 - Allow clusters to set at room temperature for about 30 minutes, or refrigerate for 10 minutes to expedite the process.
09 - Transfer set clusters to an airtight container. Store at room temperature for up to one week.
