I made these as a 'trial run' for Thanksgiving dinner. I made a batch and had my husband take them to work for his co-workers - they were a HUGE hit! Thanks!!

this recipe was easy to make and a hit at my son's baptismal party. I doubled the recipe and there were none left over. I was a little bummed about that! I'm a big fan of anything with cranberries and this was just the right touch.
