12 Cranberry Orange Bars

"Just like their Lemon-y counterparts, these Bars start with a base of delightfully buttery shortbread, which is topped with a sweet, creamy, silky-textured curd. This time, however, our supplier employs a wonderfully wintry combination of tart cranberry purée and sweetened orange peel to create a sensationally seasonal treat that’s perfect for holiday potlucks, post-feast desserts, or even idly eating with a cup of hot tea.

Preparation couldn’t be simpler: just leave these to thaw at room temperature for one hour, or in the fridge for at least four hours, then serve. Their eye-catching, muted ruby color and clean-cut appearance make them a real gem when presented at the holiday table, and they pair splendidly with a dollop of fresh whipped cream or scoop of French Vanilla Ice Cream. And since each box comes pre-portioned and ready to serve, it’s easy to grab a Bar or two at a time for an occasional midday indulgence."
