Man, I am sooo jealous. I never got anything nearly this amazing in my lunchbox when I was a kid! I guess that’s the perks of being a grownup, though, because I’m totally going to make these and bring them to work. Heck, I might even eat them first. Because grownups can do that. 🙂

How funny that we both used dried cranberries and pistachios in our posts for today! Great minds and all that….? These may be intended for lunchbox snacks, but I’d have absolutely no problem at all serving them with coffee to guests after dinner!
