Ingredients
  

Cranberry Sauce
  • 1 cup fresh cranberries or frozen, thawed
  • 1/2 cup sugar adjust to taste
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Chocolate Coating
  • 8 ounces dark chocolate chopped or chips
  • 1 teaspoon coconut oil optional, for smoothness

Method
 

Prepare Cranberry Sauce
  1. In a saucepan, combine cranberries, sugar, and water. Cook over medium heat until the cranberries burst and the mixture thickens, about 10 minutes.
  2. Remove from heat and stir in lemon juice. Let cool completely.
Form Bites
  1. Once the cranberry sauce is cool, drop spoonfuls onto a parchment-lined baking sheet and freeze for about 15 minutes until firm.
Melt Chocolate
  1. Using a double boiler, melt the dark chocolate and coconut oil together until smooth.
Coat Bites
  1. Dip each frozen cranberry sauce bite into the melted chocolate, using a fork to lift them out and let excess chocolate drip off.
  2. Return the coated bites to the parchment paper and refrigerate until the chocolate is set, about 10 minutes.
Serve
  1. Once the chocolate has hardened, serve the bites chilled or at room temperature.
