Here are some commonly asked questions
How long will this recipe last?
If you store it in an airtight container, this should stay fresh for several weeks. I like these containers, but a zip-top bag works too.
Where do you find all the ingredients?
You can check the nut & candy aisle at your local grocer. But I like to just place my order on Amazon & have it all delivered quickly & easily in a couple of days. This ensures I have everything I need I don’t have to worry about not finding an ingredient.
Can I use something else in place of another ingredient?
You bet! If you don’t like dried cranberries, you could use raisins.
If you want more chocolate, you could use these chocolate covered blueberries instead of the candy-coated ones I chose.
You could use Patriotic M&M in place of the Boson Baked Beans, or add them ALL in there. It’s your choice & it would ALL be delicious.
