  • 1 cup Dark Chocolate Chips Feel free to swap with milk or white chocolate.
  • 1 tbsp Coconut Oil Optional for smoother texture.

Equipment

  • Parchment paper
  • Baking Sheet
  • Knife
  • fork
  • microwave-safe bowl

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Start by opening the can of jellied cranberry sauce and gently slice it into ½-inch thick discs using a sharp knife. Lay the slices out neatly on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  2. Place the baking sheet with the cranberry slices in the freezer and allow them to chill for at least 30 minutes.
  3. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the dark chocolate chips with a tablespoon of coconut oil. Microwave for 1 minute, stir, then heat in 15-second bursts until smooth.
  4. Once the cranberry slices are frozen solid, dip each slice into the melted chocolate, allowing excess chocolate to drip off back into the bowl.
  5. Return the baking sheet with chocolate-covered slices to the freezer for another 30 minutes to set the coating.
  6. Once the chocolate has fully set, remove the bites from the freezer and let them rest at room temperature for a few minutes before serving.
