Ingredients
  

For the Bites
  • 1 can Jellied Cranberry Sauce Opt for the canned variety for a smooth, perfect coating.
  • 1 cup Dark Chocolate Chips For a rich flavor; can substitute with milk or white chocolate.
  • 1 tbsp Coconut Oil Optional, helps to achieve a silky texture.

Equipment

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

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Chocolate Covered Cranberry Sauce
  1. Start by cutting the jellied cranberry sauce into approximately ½-inch thick discs. Place the slices neatly on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  2. Once the cranberry slices are arranged, pop the baking sheet in the freezer for at least 30 minutes to firm them up.
  3. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine dark chocolate chips with an optional touch of coconut oil. Heat in the microwave for 1 minute, stirring halfway through, then continue in 15-second bursts until melted.
  4. Retrieve the cranberry slices from the freezer and dip each slice into the melted chocolate, ensuring it's completely covered. Let excess chocolate drip off before placing back on the baking sheet.
  5. Return the baking sheet to the freezer for about 30 minutes or until the chocolate has fully set.
  6. Once set, enjoy the bites straight from the freezer or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
