Cranberry Nut Bites
Every year the Saturday evening right after Thanksgiving our little community has a tree lighting.The lights on our Community Tree are turned on, then we all go inside for hot chocolate, little treats and Christmas Carols. Everyone brings little treats which is almost the best part. I brought my Cranberry Nut Bites and I am sharing the recipe with you.
