We sprinkled sugared cranberries and poured the cranberry spice syrup on top of our pancake dinner last night. It was absolutely delightful! And if you will be coming to Sunday family dinner this week, these will be featured in our pancake bar. I mean, who doesn't love breakfast for dinner? Especially with something as sinfully delicious as these?

Oh nice, if it weren't post-dinner time, I'd be making this right now.
Well if you do decide to make it, let me know how you like it.
The second time we made it, it tasted like red hot candies to me! Tastes very Christmas-y but would work equally well for Valentine's day I think.
