Such a pretty square for your Christmas tray. Traditional cranberries in an unbaked square, topped with pretty pink icing, garnished with dried cranberries. This makes a large amount, but go ahead, put the extras on a pretty pink or red plate and give as a gift.

These squares were a bit too dry for my taste. I think I would add a little more butter to the crust next time.

These were easy to make and turned out great! The only thing I would change is to use a little less sugar in the cranberry filling.

These were delicious! The cranberry filling was tart and tangy, and the butterscotch topping was rich and creamy. I will definitely be making these again.
