Author: Jenn Laughlin - Peas and Crayons

• ¼ cup dark chocolate chips
• ½ tsp coconut oil
• 15 phyllo cups (found near the frozen dough)
• ⅓ cup dried cranberries
• ⅓ cup chopped pistachios
• ⅓ cup chopped pecans
• 3-4 TBSP honey plus extra to taste
• 2-3 oz white chocolate
• 1/4-1/2 tsp coconut oil

• Place your dar chocolate and coconut oil in a small microwave-safe ramekin.

• Melt via microwave by adjusting the power to 50% and heating at 30 second intervals, stirring in between each. It only took two 30 second cycles to melt mine but may vary depending on chocolate type and oven wattage. You can also melt chocolate stove-top using the double broiler method.

• Dip a phyllo cup face-down in the chocolate until the edges are coated, almost like you're rimming a margarita glass with salt. My dish was shallow enough for me to drop the entire phyllo cup into the bowl then I simply inserted a toothpick into the middle of the phyllo cup to remove it and placed it chocolate side up on a plate. It sounds weird when typed out but the execution itself was super easy and took no time at all.

• Once each cup is dipped in delicious chocolate, allow them to cool/dry on the countertop or pop them in the fridge to chill.

• Once your chocolate has set, fill each phyllo cup to the brim with cranberries, pistachios and pecans.

• Pour a little honey into each cup, add a little - or a lot! No need to worry about measurements.

• Next melt your white chocolate and coconut using the same method as the chocolate above.

• Stir chocolate with a fork then drizzle over each phyllo cup.

• Allow chocolate to cool and dig in!

Have a few extra minutes? You can toast your pistachios and pecans on a skillet with a little brown sugar and butter for an added level of deliciousness! I do this with my coconut baklava bites and it's ahhh-mazing!

Making this ahead of time? It works marvelously! I dipped my phyllo shells in advance and stored them in an airtight container in the fridge overnight. I combined the chopped nuts and cranberry in a small container on the counter and simply assembled with the honey and white chocolate before serving, though you can fully assemble the entire thing and refrigerate as well!

Want to take your cranberry blissdom to the next level? Try freshly grating orange zest on top of the melted white chocolate drizzle for a burst of citrusy goodness!
