These look yummy. I just added this to my Pinterest Recipe folder and will be giving this recipe a try.
They are really popular in our house, thank you.
Thanks, I hope you like them 🙂
These looks just delicious! Anything with cranberries is something I must try! Thanks for sharing.
I’m a big cranberry fan as well. Even our fussy 9 year old really enjoyed the croquettes!
These would a hit at my house. My son loves to make chicken dishes and experiment with different cooking methods. I don’t think we’ve made croquettes before, so this would be something to try.
Yes, definitely try these! 😀
