How to Make Cranberry Chocolate Candy

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine 12 ounces fresh or frozen cranberries, 1 cup granulated sugar, and 1/2 cup water.
  2. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally.
  3. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 3-5 minutes, or until the cranberries are tender but still hold their shape. Do not overcook.
  4. Remove from heat and drain the cranberries, reserving 2 tablespoons of the cooking liquid.
  5. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt 12 ounces of semi-sweet chocolate chips with 2 tablespoons of milk in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth and creamy.
  6. Stir in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
  7. Gently fold in the cooked cranberries and the reserved 2 tablespoons of cranberry cooking liquid.
  8. Pat the mixture into a well-greased 9x9 inch baking dish.
  9. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until completely firm.
  10. Cut into squares and enjoy!
