Cranberry Christmas Crack

This recipe was sponsored by our friends at Dry Sparkling.

This cranberry Christmas crack recipe is a delicious and easy holiday treat. No matter what level of cook you are, you can make this in a jiffy!

This cranberry Christmas crack recipe is definitely a treat everyone will love. It is a treat that is perfect for any type of gathering.

I love this cranberry Christmas crack recipe almost as much as our regular gluten-free Christmas crack. It is so easy to make and is a super easy Christmas candy.

This delicious holiday treat is truly amazing and since you break the crackers and get the “crack sound” there you go…the name!

It starts with a few simple ingredients including those needed to make our homemade cranberry jam. It comes together great with our favorite soda brand, Dry Sparkling and their holiday cranberry flavor.

The freezer does all the work while you leave it in overnight. The next morning you just have to break and place it for the perfect Christmas crack candy!
Feel free to get creative and add little sprinkles like we did to it before freezing for a little extra holiday pizzazz.

These cranberry and blood orange celebration bottles from Dry Sparkling are so gorgeous! They are great for taking to your next holiday party as a hostess gift. 

I also love using them in recipes like our cranberry White Russian cocktails.
