These easy to make cranberry orange bites are the perfect addition to your baby shower menu, Thanksgiving menu, or your breakfast plate. 

These mini cranberry orange bites take just a few minutes to make and make great appetizers or desserts for a baby shower, a great addition to your menu of Thanksgiving recipes, or even just a hostess gift to give to someone who’s hosting Thanksgiving! They’re the perfect easy desserts or if you’re not sharing, the perfect breakfast food!

My all-time favorite flavor combination is cranberry orange and that’s before I even knew cranberry orange was a real thing. My mom used to drink cranberry and orange juice mixed together and got me hooked on it, and then I started experimenting with the flavor combination in things like my one-pot couscous recipe and the most amazing cranberry orange bread.

Pretty much any time the two flavors are paired, it’s gonna be delicious. These cranberry orange bites take two of my favorite things – store-bought crescent roll dough and cranberry orange – and make a delicious appetizer or sweet treat that’s perfect for any upcoming holiday parties. Or a baby shower. Or a brunch.

They’re the perfect easy desserts or if you’re not sharing, the perfect breakfast food!

They’re so simple to make. Simply make the cranberry orange mixture. Roll out your crescent roll dough and cut into small squares. Put those squares into mini muffin tins and fill with the cranberry orange mixture.

I think they’re prettier if you fold up the edges to make them kind of like cranberry orange puffs but if you’re short on time, you can definitely just leave them nice and open as well. They’ll bake and taste just the same.

Bake them in the oven for about 10 minutes or until the crescent roll is nice and golden brown and you’re done. Unless of course you want to add a delicious orange glaze right on top. It really does add the nice extra punch they need but they’re still yummy without it.

    Do you put the leftovers in the fridge or leave them out?

      I left mine out but to be honest they didn’t last much longer than a few hours Shannon.
