Description
This unexpected treat turns leftover cranberry sauce into a rich, tart-sweet holiday confection. Smooth jellied cranberry sauce gets chilled, sliced, and dipped in glossy dark chocolate for a festive twist on fruit and chocolate. It’s quick, fun, and surprisingly elegant.
Ingredients
1 (14 oz) can jellied cranberry sauce
1 (16 oz) bag dark chocolate chips
1 tbsp coconut oil (optional, for smoother melting and a shiny finish)
Optional Twists
Use white or milk chocolate instead of dark for a sweeter bite
Add a sprinkle of sea salt or crushed pistachios on top for texture
Stir in ½ tsp orange zest into the chocolate for a citrusy edge
Instructions
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Remove the cranberry sauce from the can in one piece and slice into ½-inch rounds or cubes. Chill for 15–20 minutes to firm.
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt chocolate chips and coconut oil in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
Dip each cranberry slice or cube into the melted chocolate, coating fully or halfway for a dipped look.
Place on the prepared baking sheet.
Optional: sprinkle with sea salt or nuts before the chocolate sets.
Chill until firm, about 30 minutes. Store in the fridge.
