Chocolate cranberry easy to make candy recipe that’s made from just 3 ingredients. This no-cook sweet takes minutes to make and is full of good stuff. Vegan, gluten-free and high in nutrition.
Use dried cranberries that are sweetened with fruit juice like apple or pineapple rather than refined sugar.
Ground almonds are blanched and skinned almonds in a flour. They make it possible to make these cranberry sweets in a not very powerful blender.
Blend the almond and cranberry mixture for a few seconds. About 15 seconds in a 600w blender.
Stop blending when the cranberry almond mixture is combined and all sticking together.
It should look like one big lump of red dough.
Melt the chocolate using a double boiler. Melt 3/4 then take off the heat and stir in the last 1/4 for easy chocolate tempering.
Now the fun starts! Roll the cranberry almond dough into bite sized balls.
Drop the cranberry balls into the melted dark chocolate and spoon over to coat.
Leave chocolate cranberry balls on a plate to set.
You don’t have to coat in chocolate but the mixture of chocolate and cranberry works very well together.
