Caramelized Onion-Cranberry Cream Cheese Bites image

"Bite-sized hors d'oeuvres combine cream cheese spread, whole grain crackers and a cranberry topping for a yummy salty and sweet treat." This is not a TAT recipe. Just posting so I don't lose track of it. Found on myrecipes.com. You can make the Caramelized Onion-Cranberry Compote a day ahead and store it in an airtight container in the fridge. Let stand at room temperature 30 minutes before serving.

These bites were a little too sweet for my taste. I think I would have preferred them with less sugar in the cranberry sauce.

These bites are a great way to use up leftover cranberries. I always have a bag of cranberries in my freezer after the holidays, and this is a great way to use them up.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my bites turned out dry and crumbly. I think I might have overbaked them.
