Excellent as is. I halved the recipe for 9 of us and it was plenty with a little left over. I didn't have cheesecloth or a spice bag so I used a tea ball for the cloves and allspice and just threw in the cinnamon sticks, fishing them out when it was done. I would only change the cranberries to 24oz since they usually come in 12oz bags- I don't think any of the other quantities wuold need adjusting with the slight increase in berries.

This did turn out moist and was pretty good. I used Malibu rum and was disappointed that I couldn't taste much rum flavor. I would use a cheaper rum next time.

These were good and I did get requests for the recipe. Will probably make again in the future. I didn't watch the caramel closely enough and ended up scorching it (wasn't clear on whether or not I should be stirring it while boiling). So... they were "Burnt Caramel" Shortbread Squares. Still tasted good though!
