WHITE CHOCOLATE CRANBERRY-ORANGE BARS
This is my take on my mother's recipe for chocolate chunk bars, which she made every Christmas Eve. Our family is scattered across the country now; making these reminds me of home. If you don't have a pastry cutter, you can use two sharp knifes or a potato masher. My mom makes this with semisweet chocolate chunks. -Erin Powell, Amarillo, Texas

- For a more intense chocolate flavor, use dark chocolate chips instead of semi-sweet chocolate chips.
