A delightful and festive treat combining tart cranberry sauce with rich chocolate coating. Perfect for holiday gatherings or as a unique sweet snack, these chocolate-covered cranberry sauce bites offer a beautiful balance of sweet and tangy flavors with a smooth, shiny chocolate exterior.

Ingredients

Scale

Cranberry Sauce

  • 1 cup cranberry sauce

Chocolate Coating

  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Prepare Cranberry Sauce Portions: Spoon the cranberry sauce into small, bite-sized portions and place them on a parchment-lined tray. Freeze the portions for at least 2 hours or until completely solid to ensure they hold their shape when dipped.
  2. Melt the Chocolate: Using a double boiler or microwave, gently melt the chocolate chips until smooth, stirring frequently to avoid burning. The chocolate should be glossy and fully melted for easy dipping.
  3. Dip Frozen Cranberry Sauce: Remove the frozen cranberry sauce portions from the freezer. Using a fork or dipping tool, immerse each portion into the melted chocolate, making sure it is fully coated.
  4. Set and Chill: Place the chocolate-coated cranberry sauce back onto the parchment-lined tray. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes or until the chocolate hardens completely.
  5. Serve or Store: Once set, the chocolate-covered cranberry bites can be served immediately or stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.

Notes

  • Use good-quality chocolate chips or couverture chocolate for a smoother, shinier finish.
  • Ensure the cranberry sauce portions are fully frozen before dipping to prevent melting and maintain shape.
  • You can use dark, milk, or white chocolate depending on your taste preference.
  • For added texture, sprinkle chopped nuts or sea salt on the wet chocolate before chilling.
  • These treats are best served chilled to keep the chocolate firm.
