  3. Fold in the chopped cranberries and pistachios until evenly distributed.
  4. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for about 30 minutes or until the mixture firms up.

Notes

To prevent the chocolate mixture from sticking to your hands when rolling, lightly coat your hands with cocoa powder or water. For a vegan version, substitute dairy-free chocolate and coconut cream. You can freeze these truffles for up to three months.
