Instructions
Preparation

Notes
These bites are best served fresh to maintain the crispness of the rosemary and the vibrant look of the cranberries. For a more intense rosemary flavor, you can gently bruise the sprigs before placing them. The powdered sugar adds a lovely touch, but ensure to apply it just before serving to prevent it from dissolving.
