I believe this was the 5th year that I have made these and every year they are a hit. THIS year I used fresh cranberries instead of craisins and white chocolate chips instead of chopped white chocolate. Fresh cranberries were a good touch, but I really prefer the chopped white chocolate because the pieces all end up different sizes. I like the suggestion of the walnuts too though... perhaps next year!

I also used white chocolate chips in place of the white chocolate chunks. Jam260 is right, they did require an extra 5 min baking time... perhaps even a bit longer.
