Chocolate-Covered Cranberries

Make the most of the winning combination of dried cranberries and chocolate with this simple recipe. The delicious, antioxidant-rich snack alternates between sweet and tart — just like your kids.

Hands-On Time: 20 minutes
Ready In: 45 minutes
Yield: about 1 1/4 cups

4 ounces semisweet or milk chocolate
1/2 cup dried, sweetened cranberries

1. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or plastic wrap. Melt the chocolate in a double boiler or in a glass bowl in the microwave; remove from heat once melted.
2. Have your helper add the cranberries to the chocolate and stir until coated. Fish out the cranberries with a fork, tapping off excess chocolate on the side of the bowl, and transfer to lined baking sheet.
3. Put baking sheet in refrigerator until chocolate hardens, about 20 minutes. Store in the fridge. (For kids under 4, cut dried cranberries in half ... less chokeable, more chocolate!)
