Ingredients
1 cup cranberry sauce
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 tablespoon coconut oil
Sea salt (optional)
Instructions
1. Scoop the cranberry sauce into small balls or spoonfuls and place them on a parchment-lined tray. Freeze for 1 hour until firm.
2. In a microwave-safe bowl or double boiler, melt the chocolate chips with coconut oil until smooth. Stir often and avoid burning.
3. Dip each frozen cranberry ball into the melted chocolate, letting excess drip off. Return them to the parchment-lined tray.
4. Sprinkle sea salt on top if desired.
5. Chill in the fridge until the chocolate is fully set.
6. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 7 days or freeze for longer storage.
Notes
Keep cranberry sauce thick for easier shaping.
Don’t skip the coconut oil—it gives the chocolate a perfect snap.
Sea salt on top adds flavor contrast and visual appeal.
