These were really simple to put together and will make a nice addition to cookie trays for the holidays. If you can time it right, they would be great served warm out of the oven with a scoop of vanilla icecream. I feel like I want to drizzle them with dark chocolate but I was under strict orders from my husband to "leave them alone!" Would definitely make again.

These were well liked in my house but personally I felt they were a little dry. The recipe calls for 2 cups of cranberries but one bag has about 2-1/2 cups. Next time I would just use the whole bag since I felt the filling was a bit thin anyway. I would adjust the filling ingredients up a bit to compensate. I would also like to try adding in some frozen blueberries. I only used about 1 tsp. orange rind and it was plenty. I think the orange flavor would be overpowering with a full tablespoon. It was good served with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on the side.

This was a good recipe, however not a great one. I do love the hint of orange in it, but i felt like I had way too much of the crust mixture, so I ended up using the other half for another pan of bars. I don't like a lot of crust, so I used what I needed to make a nice crust on bottom and just sprinkled it generously on top, ont covering it entirely. That worked. Next time I'll cut the crust mixture in half. Great taste, though, I will say.

very tasty. not too sweet, not too tart. next time i think i'll add even more orange flavor to it, but that is simply my preference rather than a recommendation. key words in that last sentence: "next time"!!!
