Ingredients
1 cup cranberry sauce
1 cup dark chocolate chips
1 teaspoon coconut oil
1 teaspoon flaky sea salt (optional)

2. Melt chocolate chips with coconut oil in the microwave or over a double boiler, stirring until smooth.
3. Dip each frozen cranberry scoop into the melted chocolate using a fork. Let the excess drip off and place onto the tray.
4. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt if desired, and refrigerate for 10–20 minutes until set.
5. Serve chilled or store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
Notes
Keep cranberry sauce chilled before scooping for easier handling.
Use good quality chocolate for best results.
Optional sea salt gives a gourmet finish—don’t skip it if you like sweet-salty flavors.
