Candied Cranberries

this idea

These candied cranberries began popping up in my feed last year. I bookmarked it as a recipe I wanted to try, and then this year, this viral recipe seemed to be everywhere!! Since I’ve made sugared cranberries quite a few times in the past and liked them, I knew I had to give these a try.

My verdict: I like the taste of these powdered sugar cranberries better than sugared cranberries. And these have the most satisfying crunch when you bite into them! There’s a video below, and you can hear the crunch in that. They are a fun holiday treat to have at parties and get togethers. Mine were devoured on Thanksgiving! But I do prefer the sugared cranberries for decorating cakes and other desserts and using in drinks!

I’ve read that some struggle with the taste of their powdered sugar with this recipe. I have not experienced this at all. I use the Wegmans brand powdered sugar. I also go through powdered sugar pretty quickly with all the baking I do, so it never sits around very long. So be mindful of the powdered sugar you’re using and make sure it’s fresh to get the best taste for this!

Also be mindful when baking these. You’re baking at a low temp for just a few minutes. It’s just to set the powdered sugar on the cranberries. Make sure you don’t over bake these! But overall these are a really easy treat to make and so fun to eat!
