Craisins are a great product to have on hand for snacks, but did you know you could make so many delicious things with them? Enjoy this yummy list Craisins recipes!A recipe I was making called for dried cranberries, so I headed to the store to buy some Craisins® Dried Cranberries. Okay, so I buy these every now and then and tend to buy several packages to have on stock–well, I didn’t realize all the new varieties they have! All the new flavors and products made me want to make even more recipes with Craisins®.

Cranberries have always been a deliciously sweet and tart treat. I used to eat them by themselves or add them to baked goods. Lately I’ve been excited to add them to salads and even tried an entree with them! My youngest son, S, absolutely loves the cherry variety! We purchased Craisins® Reduced Sugar, Cherry, Pomegranate, and Blueberry varieties and even picked up one of their brand new Craisins® Fruit Clusters products (we chose Cranberry Granola, but they also have Cranberry Almond.)

 

Craisins Dried Cranberry Snacks

 

We found these delicious dried cranberry products in the snack aisle with the dried fruit, across from the bread. As you can see, they come in a variety of sizes. I went with the smaller bags so I could get more flavors.

Craisins® are the perfect way to add some “zing” to your day, whether as a snack or in your favorite recipe. They are so versatile, especially because they have so many flavors. I am totally used to just regular dried cranberries , but I’m going back through some of my favorite recipes that use it and trying the different flavors to see how the taste changes! Did you know that 1/4 cup of Craisins® gives you 1/2 cup serving of fruit! I am all about nutrition, so I absolutely love this. My boys eat the reduced sugar variety like candy, so we can easily get in one of their daily fruit servings.
