Tart cranberry sauce meets rich chocolate for a festive, bite-sized delight with a touch of crunch.

# Ingredients You’ll Need:

→ Cranberry Bites

01 - 1 can jellied cranberry sauce
02 - 1 cup dark chocolate chips
03 - 1 tablespoon coconut oil (optional)

→ Optional Toppings

04 - 1/2 cup crushed nuts
05 - 1 teaspoon sea salt

# How to Make It:

01 - Open the can of jellied cranberry sauce and cut into 1.25 cm thick rounds using a knife.
02 - Arrange cranberry slices in a single layer on a lined baking sheet and freeze for 30 minutes until firm.
03 - Combine dark chocolate chips and coconut oil in a microwave-safe mixing bowl. Microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring between each, until fully melted and smooth.
04 - Using a fork, dip each frozen cranberry slice into the melted chocolate mixture, allowing excess chocolate to drip off.
05 - Immediately sprinkle dipped slices with crushed nuts, sea salt, or festive sprinkles if desired.
06 - Return the chocolate-covered slices to the baking sheet and freeze for an additional 30 minutes until chocolate sets.
07 - Serve chilled on a platter or store bites in an airtight container layered with wax paper to prevent sticking.

# Extra Tips:

01 - Layer bites with wax paper during storage to prevent sticking. Ensure slices are fully frozen before dipping for best results.
