Cranberry Christmas Canes image

A festive shape, zesty cranberry filling and Christmas colors make these sweet rolls a real holiday hit with my crew. Sometimes I change the glaze, omitting the vanilla and using orange juice instead of milk for a tangier taste. -Rita Fenley, Chesapeake, Virginia

The picture of the canes in this recipe is misleading. They don't actually look like that.

These canes were a complete disaster. The white chocolate seized up and the cranberries were too tart.

I had some trouble getting the white chocolate to melt smoothly. Other than that, these canes were easy to make.

I'm not a huge fan of cranberries, but I really enjoyed these canes. The white chocolate coating really balanced out the tartness of the cranberries.
