One of my very favourite gifts to give during the holiday season is something I’ve made myself, and since I love to cook that usually means something to eat! Kraft products are a staple in my kitchen when the holidays roll around, whether I’m making my famous Chocolate Peanut Butter Squares or a tasty Marshmallow Nougat.
Since the holidays are also a busy time, though, my edible gifts for Christmas giving tend to be quick and easy so that I can whip up a few different treats in an afternoon and still have time for Christmas fun. And one of my personal favourite treats is White Chocolate Cranberry Squares!
White Chocolate Cranberry Squares
Ingredients
- 1 package 170 g. Baker's White Chocolate, chopped
- 1/4 cup whipping cream
- 1 tsp. grated orange zest
- 1/2 cup dried cranberries
- 1/2 cup Brazil nuts chopped
Instructions
-
Line 8-inch square baking sheet with lightly greased aluminum foil.
-
Combine chocolate and whipping cream in small saucepan. Place over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until chocolate is melted and mixture is smooth.
-
Stir in orange zest, cranberries and nuts until combined.
-
Pour mixture into pan. Let sit until firm.
-
Using edges of foil, lift mixture out of pan and cut into 1-inch squares.
-
Store covered in refrigerator.
These squares are as easy as it gets, but they’re also very versatile. I sometimes make them with blueberries instead of the cranberries or with chopped pecans instead of Brazil nuts. No matter which fruit and nut combination I choose, though, the orange zest is a must! The tart citrus flavour ensures the sweetness of the white chocolate isn’t overwhelming.

But no matter which treats you choose, a gift that tastes great is always a good choice for showing loved ones how much you care!

I think this is a wonderfully delicious and attractive sweet to have on hand or to have very occasionally, unless you have a low cholesterol count and not diabetic-problems that some of seniors have. It would be a wonderful treat, though, especially if we are exercising and in good shape.
