Total Calories: 1,246
Yield: 3 dozen

Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups quick-cooking oats, uncooked
3/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon brown sugar, packed and divided
1 cup butter, softened
1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
1/4 cup lemon juice
1 (16-ounce) can whole cranberry sauce
2 tablespoons cornstarch

Directions:

In a large bowl, combine flour, oats, 3/4 cup brown sugar and butter, mixing until crumbly. Remove 1-1/2 cups of mixture and set aside for topping. Press remaining mixture into bottom of a 13"x9" baking pan lined with non-stick aluminum foil. Bake at 350 degrees until lightly golden, about 15 minutes. Set aside. In a medium bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth. Add condensed milk and lemon juice, whipping until completely combined. Pour evenly over warm crust. Spoon cranberry sauce into a bowl, stirring gently to blend. Add remaining brown sugar and cornstarch; mix to combine well. Drop cranberry mixture by tablespoonfuls over cream cheese layer. Sprinkle top with reserved crumb mixture. Bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes, or until top is golden. Refrigerate until chilled. Cut into bars.


Fill a roomy basket with all the ingredients for a hot cocoa gift. Tuck in peppermint sticks, squares of chocolate, marshmallows and a favorite cocoa recipe. Add a few restaurantware mugs too...oh-so perfect for keeping chocolatey cocoa toasty warm!
