Instructions
How to Make Chocolate Covered Cranberry Sauce Bites
- Open your can of jellied cranberry sauce and cut it into approximately ½-inch thick discs. You'll get about two full 'ribs' from the can, setting a lovely base for your bites.
- Arrange the cranberry slices on a parchment-lined baking sheet, making sure they don’t overlap. Freeze them for at least 30 minutes until they are firm and ready for dipping.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine dark chocolate chips and coconut oil (if using). Heat in the microwave for 1 minute, stirring gently, then continue heating in 15-second bursts until the mixture is fully melted and silky smooth.
- Remove the frozen cranberry slices from the freezer. Use a fork to dip each slice into the melted chocolate, allowing any excess chocolate to drip off. Place the coated slices back on the baking sheet.
- Transfer the baking sheet back to the freezer for about 30 minutes, or until the chocolate is completely set and has a nice firm coating.
Notes
Optional: Sprinkle with sea salt before the chocolate sets for an extra flavor boost. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week or freeze for longer storage.
