Step-by-Step Instructions

  • Open the can of jellied cranberry sauce and slice into approximately ½” thick discs.
  • Place the slices on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  • Freeze for at least 30 minutes to firm the slices.
  • In a microwave-safe bowl, combine dark chocolate chips and coconut oil if using. Microwave for 1 minute, stir, then heat in 15-second increments until smooth.
  • Submerge each cranberry slice in melted chocolate and allow excess to drip off.
  • Continue to coat all slices, working quickly to prevent chocolate from setting.
  • Return the baking sheet to the freezer for about 30 minutes to harden the chocolate.
