Ingredients
  

For the Bites
  • 1 can Jellied Cranberry Sauce Canned works best for a smooth texture
  • 1 cup Dark Chocolate Chips Can substitute with milk or white chocolate
  • 2 tablespoons Coconut Oil Optional, for smoother melting
Optional Toppings
  • 1/2 cup Crushed Nuts Walnuts or pistachios suggested
  • 1/4 cup Festive Sprinkles Use seasonal colors

Equipment

  • microwave-safe bowl
  • Baking Sheet
  • Parchment paper
  • Fork

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Start by opening the canned jellied cranberry sauce and gently scoop it out. Slice the sauce into ½-inch thick discs.
  2. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lay the cranberry rounds on it. Place in the freezer for at least 30 minutes.
  3. Add dark chocolate chips and coconut oil to a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in one-minute increments, stirring in between, until melted.
  4. Using a fork, dip each cranberry round into the melted chocolate, ensuring it’s fully coated. Allow excess to drip off before placing back on the baking sheet.
  5. Return the chocolate-coated rounds to the baking sheet and freeze for another 30 minutes to let the chocolate harden completely.
