    Cranberry Oatmeal Butter Bars

    Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe

    cran 3As I was baking these bars, I knew I loved the idea of them, but was not sure if they would turn out to be as good as I was hoping.  For me cranberry is one of my favorite holiday flavors, but they have to be sweetened perfectly in order to really enjoy every bite of them.  Let me just tell you....they are as good as I hoped. cran 2

    The combination of the buttery and oatmeal crust with the sweetened cranberries is just perfect!  As you are baking for the holidays or any of your cookie exchange parties, I hope you will add these to your table!  Enjoy
