Cranberry Pop-Tarts

Here’s a recipe for the kids and the inner-kid in you! Cranberry Pop-Tarts are quite simple to make and really make for a fun treat. These can be made for any occasion by changing the sprinkles to match your theme. Red and green sprinkles for Christmas, pink and red for Valentine’s, green and gold for St. Patrick’s Day, pink and blue for a baby shower etc. What event will you make these for? Reel.

 

Cranberry Strawberry Almond Tart

It is beautiful and really makes an impression and did we mention it is delicious? Will you try it? Here’s the recipe video here, it seems a lot less intimidating once you watch it!
