Ingredients
  

For the Bites
  • 1 can Canned Jellied Cranberry Sauce Use the jellied version for best consistency.
  • 1 cup Dark Chocolate Chips Can substitute with milk or white chocolate if preferred.
  • 1 tbsp Coconut Oil Optional; helps achieve a smoother chocolate dip.
For Topping (Optional)
  • ½ cup Crushed Nuts Adds a crunchy texture contrast.
  • ¼ cup Festive Sprinkles Add a pop of color for holiday gatherings.
  • 1 tsp Sea Salt Enhances flavors when sprinkled before chocolate sets.

Equipment

  • Baking sheet
  • Microwave-safe Bowl
  • sharp knife
  • Fork
  • Parchment paper

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Begin by carefully slicing the canned jellied cranberry sauce into approximately ½-inch thick discs using a sharp knife. Arrange the discs in a single layer on a lined baking sheet.
  2. Place the lined baking sheet filled with cranberry sauce discs into the freezer for at least 30 minutes to firm up the slices.
  3. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the dark chocolate chips with coconut oil. Heat on high for 1 minute, then stir, continuing to heat in 15-second intervals until melted and smooth.
  4. Dip each cranberry slice into the melted chocolate using a fork, ensuring it's fully coated. Allow excess chocolate to drip off.
  5. Return the chocolate-covered cranberry slices to the lined baking sheet, ensuring they're spaced apart. Drizzle any remaining melted chocolate over the top if desired.
  6. Place the baking sheet back into the freezer for about 30 minutes or until the chocolate coating is fully set.
