Cranberry "Cupcakes"
  • Makes 24 cupcakes
Author Notes

The original recipe is from an old cookbook, 1970's I believe, and it is a very festive, "happy holidays", type of dessert. Best part of it is that it is only about a 100 calories per cupcake. —Diethood

luvcookbooks,

I love jello recipes, too! In fact, I have a Watergate Salad and jello jigglers sitting in the fridge at this moment. :))

Take care,

Kate @ Diethood
