Cranberry Bog Bars image

Sweet and chewy, these fun bars combine the flavors of oats, cranberries, brown sugar and pecans. I like to sprinkle the squares with confectioners' sugar before serving. -Sally Wakefield, Gans, Pennsylvania

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my bars turned out dry. I think I might have overcooked them.

I added a little bit of orange zest to the cream cheese filling. It gave the bars a nice citrus flavor.

I made these bars ahead of time and froze them. They were just as good when I defrosted them.

I didn't have any fresh cranberries, so I used frozen cranberries. The bars still turned out great.

I'm allergic to nuts, so I substituted chopped walnuts for the pecans. The bars were still delicious!

I'm not a huge fan of cranberries, but I loved these bars. The cream cheese filling really balances out the tartness of the cranberries.
