Yield Yields 24 bars

Number Of Ingredients 7

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups flour
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
2 eggs
2 sticks of melted butter or margarine
2 cups of chopped fresh cranberries
3/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 cup chopped walnuts

Steps:

Mix together the sugar and flour, add the melted butter, then add the slightly beaten eggs. Add the chopped cranberries, chocolate chips and walnuts. Batter will be thick. Spread better into a buttered and floured 9x13 pan. Bake at 350 for 35 minutes or until edges are lightly browned and center is set. When cool, cut into triangles, Lighly sprinkle a layer of sifted, powdered sugar over the top. Enjoy!

Tips:

Use fresh cranberries: Fresh cranberries have a brighter flavor and hold their shape better than frozen cranberries. If you only have frozen cranberries, thaw them before using.
Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the bars tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
Bake the bars until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This will ensure that the bars are cooked through.
Let the bars cool completely before cutting them: This will help them to hold their shape.
Store the bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks: You can also freeze the bars for up to 2 months.
