December 28, 2015
You have to be cautious when choosing a trail mix that contains chocolate. Sometimes the chocolate pieces are “chocolatey” pieces -- meaning they are sugar-coated chocolate-flavored confectionery candies. Yuk.
Goodnessknows Very Cranberry Snack Squares
December 14, 2015
I picked up a package of goodnessknows® Very Cranberry snack squares at my local Sam’s Club.
Not only did the photo of the squares entice me (dried cranberries, whole almonds, dark chocolate!), but what really captured my attention was the “100 mg of Cocoa Flavanols per serving”.

Chocolate and fruit pairing has become commonplace, and the reason for it is simply because chocolate and fruits generally go scrumptiously well together. Chocolate and cranberries are a good example.
Some say there are only three common fruits that can trace their roots back to North American soil – the blueberry, the Concord grape, and the cranberry. (I thought that was interesting, but whether this is actually true or not, is irrelevant to this post.) Today we're considering the cranberry.

Cranberries and White “Chocolate” Chips

Cranberries are a frequent addition to my diet. I sprinkle dried cranberries on my granola cereal in the morning. I put them in muffins, pancakes, and sweet breads. I eat cranberries jellied and sauced, in relish and salsa. After the holidays, cranberries come down in price so I stock up and freeze them to keep them on hand.
Cranberries pair really well with the white chips in this recipe because the sweetness from the chips balances the tartness from the cranberries.
This recipe is one of my favorites. Keep one frozen and take it out when company arrives.
