Chocolate, Cranberry & Oat Bars image

From Kraft. These turned out so moist and delicious! Used 1 1/4 cup of brown sugar and will lower it next time to 1 cup to lower a bit the calories! Also used about 1/2 cup of mini chocolate chips instead of the baking squares. You've got to try this! :)

I'm not a big fan of cranberries, but I really enjoyed these bars. The chocolate and oats were a great combination.

I made a few changes to this recipe and they turned out great! I used dark chocolate chips instead of semi-sweet and I added a teaspoon of vanilla extract to the batter. They were delicious!

These bars were a disaster! They didn't turn out at all like the picture. They were too dry and the chocolate chips didn't melt.

I thought these bars were just okay. They were a bit dry and the chocolate flavor was not very strong.

These bars were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still good.

I loved the texture of these bars. The oats gave them a nice crunch and the chocolate and cranberries added a chewy sweetness.
