Spicy Cranberry Puffs image

These get snarfed up as soon as they come out of the oven over here. They're a quick and easy hors d'oeuvre and are perfect for holiday parties and potlucks. I will often double the recipe because they go so fast. You'll use about 16 TBSP of cheese and about 16 TSP cranberries (with liquid from the sauce to make a glaze)
