Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh cranberries
- 1.5 cups semisweet chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon coconut oil
- 0.5 teaspoons sea salt (optional)
Instructions
Wash and thoroughly dry the fresh cranberries. Make sure no excess moisture remains to help the chocolate adhere properly.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the semisweet chocolate chips and coconut oil. Heat in the microwave in 20-second increments, stirring after each interval, until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth. Alternatively, you can melt the chocolate using a double boiler.
Using a fork or small skewer, dip each cranberry into the melted chocolate, ensuring it is fully coated. Gently shake off the excess chocolate and place the coated cranberry onto the prepared baking sheet.
Repeat until all cranberries are coated in chocolate.
If desired, lightly sprinkle the chocolate-covered cranberries with sea salt while the chocolate is still wet for a sweet and salty flavor combination.
Transfer the baking sheet to the refrigerator and chill for 30 minutes, or until the chocolate has fully hardened.
Once set, remove the chocolate-covered cranberries from the baking sheet and store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
Serve chilled and enjoy your homemade Chocolate Covered Cranberries!
