Cranberry Walnut Chipper Bars

Cranberry, Walnut, and White Chips

This easy cake mix cookie bar recipe uses just a handful of ingredients and always turns out delicious. When I don’t have cranberries, I like to swap in dried cherries or dried blueberries.

  • 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
  • 1/3 cup canola oil
  • 1/4 tsp almond extract, optional
  • 1/4 tsp butter extract, optional
  • 3/4 cup dried cranberries
  • 3/4 cup walnuts, chopped
  • 3/4 cup white chocolate chips

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°.
  2. Spray a 11×7” pan with cooking spray.
  3. In a medium mixing bowl; add the cake mix, eggs, oil, optional extracts, cranberries, walnuts, and white chocolate chips.
  4. Mix until combined.
  5. Press evenly into prepared pan.
  6. Bake 30-35 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.

Easy Crocheted Sweater

Crochet Topdown Seamless Sweater

I’ve only been crocheting for a short time, but I’ve recently started making wearable pieces for myself and my family. This seamless beginner sweater was such a joy to work on. I even brought the project along on our winter vacation and spent sunny Florida afternoons crocheting outdoors. The tutorial I followed is linked here.
