My 3 1/2 yr old son and almost 5 yr old daughter helped me make this. We used fat free evap. milk. It was awesome! Thank-you so much. We got 96 servings in our dish, though. Yum, YUM!

I made this for a Holiday get together. This was really easy & not too sweet & with the tartness of the cranberries it was great!

I made this and packaged for our Christmas bags at my Red Hatters meeting. I also made some and took for all to sample. Everyone just loved it. They like the tart cranberry mixed with the sweet chocolate. I would say this is a recipe to keep.

I made this to share with my TOPS group tonight-and passed it out along with the recipe. They loved it. A perfect dieter's delight. Super simple to make.

This is a fab recipe that I will add to my Christmas candy file. So easy and simple but tastes great.Thought it would be too bitter with the semi-sweet chips but the sweetness of the cranberries evened everything out. N Hurst Chanute Ks

I made a batch with dark chocolate chips and my family went wild. This recipe is definitely a keeper.
