Cranberry Orange Cream Cheese Mini-Loaves

Submitted by Soukii

"I've been giving these as Christmas gifts to my husband's co-workers. They love them and request it. I usually include a note to let them know to refrigerate them because of the cream cheese- I don't know if that is necessary, but I'd rather be safe than sorry!"
