Craisin & Chocolate Chip Fingers

Did you feel the earth move over the weekend? If you did it was because a miracle occurred. I finally got around to reorganising my pantry. I've just learnt to put up with food products being in 3 different cupboards for about the last 9 years, since the kids were born, but I set my mind to it and came up with a workable solution...I think. So far, so good but in the event of reorganising, I found enough cupcake papers to make cupcakes for a small nation, 2 extra packets of bicarbonate of soda and I don't know how many packets of sprinkles, nuts, seeds and dried fruit. It was time to use up some of those packets.

If you don't know what a 'craisin' is, its a dried cranberry and they're chewy like a raisin or sultana. I thought I'd add some chocolate chip for the kiddos for their lunch box treat and top with a little dark chocolate drizzled on top.

My son's being taking two of these in his lunch box every day this week and he loves them. For something a little different from your typical dried fruit, why not try a craisin. (Now that I've used them all up, I must buy some more!)
