Notes
Depending on the size of your cranberries, you may need slightly less or slightly more chocolate. I used 1 1/4 cups of chocolate chips for 2 cups of large cranberries but smaller cranberries may require 1 1/2 cups.
Instead of individually dipping each cranberry, stir them all together and pour them on a tray to make chocolate cranberry bark. You can also add some dried cranberries for extra texture. Cut into pieces and serve.
Store in an airtight container in the fridge for 5-7 days.
