These easy dark chocolate covered cranberry sauce bites are the perfect way to use up leftover canned cranberry sauce from Thanksgiving or Christmas!

Dark Chocolate Covered Cranberry Sauce Bites

can jellied cranberry sauce

chocolate chips

Tbsp coconut oil

Cut Sauce

Open your can of cranberry sauce and cut into approximately ½” thick discs (about 2 full “ribs” from the can imprint)

Freeze Rounds

Place the sauce rounds on a baking sheet lined with parchment or silicone mat and place into your freezer for at least 30 minutes to firm (longer is fine too if you want to freeze in advance). If you’re in a rush, you can skip this, but I find it makes dipping harder

Melt Chocolate

Add your dark chocolate chips and coconut oil to a microwave safe bowl, and cook for 1 minute on high. Stir, then cook in additional 15-second increments, stirring each time, until melted and smooth

Remove the sauce from the freezer, and use a fork to submerge each slice completely in the chocolate. Let the excess drip off, then place it back on the lined baking sheet. Repeat until all are coated

Harden

Return to the freezer for about 30 minutes, until the chocolate is fully set. Enjoy!

I actually tried these this past weekend and they're delicious! I sliced mine probably a little thicker than I was supposed to (because measurements and I are not friends) so I just chucked them in the freezer most of the day and hoped for the best.

I think over-freezing them helped because I didn't have much trouble with moving the slices around (and I did use the coconut oil, which I think is the right call). Mine were a little uneven on the bottom but I mostly attribute that to my inexperience with dipping things. I'd definitely make them again - even if they were piles of mush they'd still taste amazing!

Very cute idea. Simple and tasty. Great instructions and recipe guidelines. 

However, the actual process of slicing and then dipping the cranberry pieces is way more difficult than this lovely expert makes it seem. Mine turned out a total mess. Amateurs beware!!
