Chocolate Covered Cranberries
This is the simplest recipe for chocolate-covered cranberries. Using only two ingredients, this tasty snack is the perfect treat for winter and an easy DIY Holiday gift.
Ingredients
- 1 cup chocolate chips (160 grams, see note 1)
- 1 cup dried cranberries (110 grams, see note 2)
Instructions
- Melt chocolate chips over a pot of simmering water.
- Meanwhile, line a baking sheet with baking parchment. When the chocolate chips are melted, throw cranberries in and stir well to make sure all the pieces are covered in chocolate.
- Use a strainer skimmer to fish out the cranberries. Transfer them onto a baking sheet and spread them around, breaking any clusters that might have formed.
- When done, place in the fridge for 15 minutes or until the chocolate is set. Take out and break the cranberries into smaller pieces, if needed.
- Keep in a Ziploc bag or airtight container in the fridge as the chocolate might start melting slightly when left in a warm room.
Notes
- I used dark chocolate chips.
- You can use raisins instead of dried cranberries.
- To make them more festive, sprinkle chocolate cranberries with shredded coconut before putting them in the fridge.
