16 oz Dark chocolate chips A rich, melt-in-your-mouth option that pairs perfectly with cranberries.
1 tablespoon Coconut oil Optional, adds smoothness to the chocolate.

14 oz Jellied cranberry sauce The star ingredient that brings a sweet and tangy flavor.

Prepare the Cranberry Sauce: Open a 14-ounce can of jellied cranberry sauce and cut into approximately ½-inch thick discs. Place rounds on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Freeze the Rounds: Pop the baking sheet with the cranberry rounds into the freezer for at least 30 minutes.
Melt the Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine 16 ounces of dark chocolate chips with 1 tablespoon of coconut oil. Microwave on high for 1 minute, then stir and heat in 15-second intervals until fully melted.
Coat the Cranberry Rounds: Remove cranberry sauce rounds from the freezer and submerge each slice into the melted chocolate using a fork. Allow excess chocolate to drip off before placing back on the baking sheet.
Set the Coated Treats: Return the baking sheet to the freezer and let the rounds set for approximately 30 minutes, or until the chocolate is hardened.
Serve and Enjoy: Once set, remove from the freezer and serve on a platter. Enjoy your Chocolate Covered Cranberry Sauce treats!

Keep treats in an airtight container; they can last for up to a month in the freezer.
