Cranberry-Chocolate Hello Dollies


If you've had breakfast at Colonial Pines Inn, you've probably had cranberries in one form or another: Cranberry-Pecan French Toast, White Grape & Cranberry Juice, Passion & Cranberry Juice, Cranberry-Pumpkin Bread, Lemon-Cranberry Bread, or Baked Apples with Cranberry Centers. We love them for their color, their taste, and their nutrition. Here they're paired with chocolate for a twist on an old favorite bar recipe:

CRANBERRY-CHOCOLATE DOLLIES

1-1/8 cup almond flour
1/8 cup sugar
1/4 cup melted butter
1/2 cup bittersweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup chopped cranberries
1/2 cup flaked coconut
1/2 cup chopped pecans
1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk

Combine almond flour, sugar & melted butter. Press into the bottom of an 8"X8" baking pan. Layer with the chocolate, cranberries, coconut, and pecans. Pour the sweetened condensed milk over. Bake at 325 degrees for 30 minutes. Cool completely and cut into 16 squares.
