Crescent Cranberry Wreaths

This post may contain affiliate links. Please read my disclosure.

Are you wondering what I ended up making for my Pillsbury Potluck party? I polled everyone and several dishes got the top votes but the number one recipe was the Crescent Cranberry Wreath. It was really easy to make and everyone (especially the kids) loved it. It went together super fast, I started making on 30 minutes before guests arrived. I love dishes like that.

I invited several of my favorite girlfriends over for the brunch. Our kids all played while we chatted about parties we were going to, Christmas, and of course ate a TON of food. Everyone brought a dish created using a Pillsbury product. We did a recipe swap too and all walked away lots of tasty new recipes to try.

We played a little game for prizes too! It was guess Wendy’s least favorite pie. Any guesses? I’m starting to think my friends only like me for my parties, food, and prizes. LOL!
