Tips:

Mise en place: Before you start baking, make sure you have all your ingredients and equipment ready. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling.
Use high-quality ingredients: The better the quality of your ingredients, the better your chocolate cranberry treats will taste. Look for fresh cranberries, good-quality chocolate, and pure vanilla extract.
Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make your treats tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
Bake the treats until they are just set: Overbaking will dry out the treats. Insert a toothpick into the center of a treat; if it comes out clean, the treats are done.
Let the treats cool completely before frosting: This will help the frosting set properly.
Decorate the treats as desired: You can use melted chocolate, sprinkles, or chopped nuts to decorate your treats.

Conclusion:

These chocolate cranberry treats are a delicious and festive treat that is perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With their rich chocolate flavor and tart cranberry filling, these treats are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
