Growing up, Ants on a Log was a nostalgic favorite at family gatherings, but moving to New England introduced me to the magic of cranberries. Inspired by the vibrant cranberry bogs, I swapped out raisins for Craisins, creating a bright, tangy upgrade to this timeless treat. Whether for the holidays or a summer picnic, Craisins on a Log is a simple, colorful appetizer that always delights!
