Cranberry Crumb Squares
I can not stress enough, this is my ABSOLUTE favorite treat of all time!!!!
Every year at Christmas this is always on my Christmas Platter. However don’t think of it as just Christmas. This is delicious any time f the year.
This freezes fantastic, just cut it up first then freeze the squares. A little trick though, try and put them in an non-see through container because anyone who know what this is, will eat it all on you. This includes yourself, so you will have to learn will power. Or just be prepared to make another one when this disappears.
