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