Ready To Start?

  1. 1. Thoroughly rinse the cranberries and pat them dry with a paper towel to remove any moisture.
  2. 2. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the dark chocolate in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth and fully melted.
  3. 3. 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.
  4. 4. 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.
  5. 5. Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or until the chocolate has fully hardened.
  6. 6. Once the chocolate is set, the cranberries are ready to be served.
