Ingredients
  

For the bites

  • 1 cup cranberry sauce This will serve as the tangy base for our bites.
  • 8 oz dark chocolate Rich and smooth; use chocolate with at least 70% cocoa.
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil Optional; enhances texture and adds a glossy finish.
  • pinch sea salt For topping; elevates flavor.

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  • Scoop small spoonfuls of cranberry sauce onto the prepared baking sheet, forming small mounds.
  • Freeze the cranberry bites for about 1 hour, or until firm.

Chocolate Coating

  • In a microwave-safe bowl, combine dark chocolate and coconut oil. Melt in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
  • Dip each frozen cranberry bite into the melted chocolate, ensuring they are evenly coated.
  • Place the chocolate-covered bites back on the parchment paper and sprinkle each with sea salt.
  • Refrigerate until the chocolate has fully set, about 30 minutes.

Serving

  • Serve and enjoy! Perfect for sharing or indulging alone.

Notes

Tips: Use high-quality chocolate; ensure cranberry sauce is firm; don’t rush cooling.
