Tips:

  • Use fresh cranberries. Fresh cranberries have a tart and juicy flavor that is perfect for this recipe. If you can't find fresh cranberries, you can use frozen cranberries, but be sure to thaw them before using.
  • Don't overcook the cranberries. Cranberries will cook quickly, so be careful not to overcook them. Overcooked cranberries will be mushy and lose their tart flavor.
  • Use a good quality white chocolate. The quality of the white chocolate will make a big difference in the taste of the squares. Use a white chocolate that is smooth and creamy, with a rich flavor.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment. You can add other ingredients to these squares to customize them to your liking. Some popular additions include nuts, dried fruit, and marshmallows.
