Tips:

  • Use fresh cranberries: Fresh cranberries have a tart and juicy flavor that is perfect for this recipe. If you can't find fresh cranberries, you can use frozen cranberries, but be sure to thaw them before using.
  • Use a sharp knife to cut the butter: This will help to incorporate the butter into the flour mixture more easily and create a more even crumb.
  • Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing the dough will make it tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Chill the dough before baking: This will help to prevent the dough from spreading too much in the oven.
  • Bake the squares until they are golden brown: This will ensure that they are cooked through.
  • Let the squares cool completely before cutting them: This will help to prevent them from crumbling.

Conclusion:

Cranberry crunch squares are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. With their sweet and tart flavor, these squares are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy dessert, give cranberry crunch squares a try. You won't be disappointed!
