These dark chocolate covered cranberries with a sprinkle of crushed candy cane are a delicious and healthier option to satisfy your sweet tooth during the holiday season. The combination of tart cranberries, rich dark chocolate, and a refreshing crunch of candy cane makes for a festive treat. These ingredients offer antioxidants from the dark chocolate and vitamin C and fiber from the cranberries, together providing you with a festive low added-sugar option.
Makes: 6 servings
Ingredients:
- 1 cup fresh cranberries
- 3.5 oz dark chocolate (70% cocoa or higher)
- 2 candy canes, crushed
Instructions:
- Thoroughly rinse the cranberries and pat them dry with a paper towel to remove any moisture.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the dark chocolate in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth and fully melted.
- Using a fork or a toothpick, dip each cranberry into the melted dark chocolate, making sure it’s fully coated. Place the coated cranberries on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Once all the cranberries are coated, sprinkle the crushed candy cane on top while the chocolate is still soft. This will help the candy cane stick to the chocolate.
- Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or until the chocolate has fully hardened.
- Once the chocolate is set, the cranberries are ready to be served.
