  1. Dusty, thank you for this delicious recipe. I was about to get rid of my leftover cranberry sauce before I came across your post, I’m glad you posted. Let me tell you, the muffins came out great my kids even love them and they aren’t to keen on cranberry sauce. Thank you again from my kids and me. Can’t wait for the next surprise recipe that you post. Have a merry Christmas and a happy new year. Excellent snack too.

  2. Another delicious recipe. Love finding ways to repurpose food that might have gotten thrown away. Anything with cranberry is a winner. These are very moist, and honestly just delicious.
