Time 1h10m

Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 (12 ounce) package whole cranberries
1 cup white sugar
¾ cup water
1 (18.25 ounce) package yellow cake mix
¾ cup butter, melted
2 eggs
1 cup rolled oats
¾ cup packed light brown sugar
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Steps:

  • In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the cranberries, white sugar, and water. Cook, stirring occasionally until all of the cranberries have popped, and the mixture is thick, about 15 minutes. Remove from heat, and set aside to cool.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • In a large bowl, mix together the cake mix, melted butter, and eggs. Stir in the oats, brown sugar, ginger and cinnamon. Set aside about 1 1/2 cups of the mixture, and spread the rest into the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish. Pack down to form a solid crust, getting it as even as possible. Spread the cooled cranberry mixture over the crust. Pinch off pieces of the remaining mixture and place evenly over the cranberry layer.
  • Bake for 35 to 40 minutes in the preheated oven, until the top is lightly browned. Cool in the pan for about 40 minutes before slicing into bars.

These cranberry bars were a bit too tart for my taste. I think I would have preferred a sweeter streusel topping.

I love these cranberry bars! They're the perfect balance of tart and sweet. The streusel topping is my favorite part.

These cranberry bars were a hit at my holiday party! They were incredibly easy to make and tasted delicious. The combination of tart cranberries and sweet streusel topping was perfect. I will definitely be making these again.
