Recipe Steps
Melt the chocolate either in a double boiler on the stove or in the microwave.
Dip the cranberries in the chocolate one at a time using a fork, allowing the excess chocolate to drip off.
Place the cranberries on a parchment lined baking sheet and place in the fridge until the chocolate sets.
Enjoy!
Tips for Making Chocolate Dipped Cranberries
- You can use milk chocolate, semi-sweet, dark or even white chocolate. Whatever is your preference. You can even make some beautiful designs by dipping the cranberries in dark chocolate and then adding a drizzle of white chocolate.
- You can also experiment with dipping dried cranberries (or craisins) in chocolate for a much sweeter and chewier snack.

Can I use frozen cranberries?
Christy Faber says
Hi Natalie! I have never tested this recipe with frozen cranberries. I would advise against it because I think the condensation on the cranberries as they thaw would really effect the chocolate coating. Hope this helps -- thanks for the question!
