Michelle Darmody makes treats for the Christmas table

The recipes here can be made to give as last-minute gifts or simply made as treats for your own Christmas table.
Cranberries match quite well with white chocolate, not only does the colour combination look festive, the tart bitterness of the cranberry helps to downplay the sweetness of the white chocolate. Dried cranberries are used in the recipe but at this time of year I usually buy a bag or two of fresh ones as well and make a batch of cranberry sauce or a fresh cranberry salsa to accompany the main event.
