Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup leftover cranberry sauce (whole berry or jellied)
- 8 ounces dark chocolate, chopped
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil (optional, for smoother chocolate)
- Flaked sea salt, for sprinkling (optional)
Instructions
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Melt the chocolate: In a double boiler or microwave-safe bowl, melt the dark chocolate and coconut oil (if using) until smooth, stirring occasionally. If microwaving, heat in 30-second intervals, stirring in between to prevent burning.
- Dip the cranberry sauce: Drop spoonfuls (or cut squares if using jellied cranberry sauce) of cranberry sauce into the melted chocolate. Use a fork to fully coat each piece.
- Transfer to baking sheet: Lift each chocolate-covered cranberry piece with a fork, allowing excess chocolate to drip off, and place onto the prepared baking sheet.
- Sprinkle and chill: Sprinkle with flaked sea salt, if desired. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or until the chocolate is firm.
- Serve: Serve chilled or at room temperature.
Notes
For a festive touch, use white chocolate or milk chocolate instead of dark chocolate. You can also add chopped nuts, dried cranberries, or orange zest to the melted chocolate for extra flavor and texture.
