Ingredients
Scale

Instructions
- Scoop the cranberry sauce into small spoonfuls and drop them onto a parchment-lined baking sheet.

- Melt dark chocolate chips and coconut oil together in a microwave-safe bowl, stirring until smooth.
- Dip each cranberry bite into the melted chocolate, coating fully.

- Use vegan chocolate chips to keep this recipe vegan.
- Finish with crushed pistachios, a pinch of sea salt, or a touch of orange zest for a festive look.
