Other sleeve options include a skull (use with any white-frosted cupcake), a black cat (chocolate frosting) and a pumpkin (white or orange-tinted frosting with orange sanding sugar). The sleeves aren’t inexpensive—$8.99/dozen—but they sure have a high WOW factor.

For cooking, think of cranberry nut bread instead of banana bread, cranberry muffins, cranberry chocolate chip or cranberry oatmeal cookies, cranberry chutney, rice pudding with dried cranberries and dried cranberries tossed into salads of every kind. If you can find cranberry sorbet, grab it!

Better yet, celebrate by enjoying your dried cranberries milk-chocolate-covered in the form of new Nestlé Cranberry Raisinets. These delicious and convenient snacks come in single-serve, 100-calorie snack packs, plus larger, 5.5-ounce, resealable bags. Toss them onto ice cream, use them as cupcake garnishes or repackage your daily allotment from the larger bag to enjoy in front of the TV.

One winner will receive a gift basket brimming with Nestlé Cranberry Raisinets, including 100-calorie packs like those seen in the photo at left, plus several 5.5-ounce, stand-up bags. You’re sure to make lots of new friends to share them with. Read the bullet below to find out how to enter to win this week’s chocolate-covered prize.
