This is a wonderful cookie bar. I made it just as written; waited for them to COOL before cutting, and they were beautiful! It's one that I'll make again and again for my family and friends. Absolutely fabulous!

One of my favorite Christmas recipes...I always cut the sugar though...the cake mix is so sweet that you don't really need much.

These were awesome. I shared them with quite a few people and never met any resistance in coming in for seconds!

Tasty, with a slightly "holiday" flavor, thought they were good.

Very good. Glad there was a little bit of healthy involved...

Excellent just as is. Given out this recipe many times!

this was very good, a bit too much sugar. it may have been the cake mix though. i will try again with a less sugar.

Devine and very easy! I didn't have cranberries on hand, but I did have some leftover thawed frozen mixed berries which I strained and mixed with sugar for the topping. These are sweet and nutty; very good!

I think I just gave myself a stomachache from eating too many of these.. These came out so delicious! I can't seem to stop eating another piece. Unlike other reviewers I couldn't really taste the cake mix in them. (I used Pillsbury, maybe that helped?) But it did take me longer than I expected to press the cookie parts into the pan. Very sticky. I found it helpful for the top part to take a piece of dough, mash it flat in my palms, and then place it on top the cranberry sauce. I'll definitely make this one again. Maybe just not eat half a pan by myself next time.

These are absolutely delicious!! I had to use canned whole cranberries because the store didn't have the fresh. After that I followed the recipe. It was not difficult to work with at all. I made half the batch in a square pan and half in mini muffin tins. They turned out wonderfully!

I had to write another review. I made these the first time for Thanksgiving. Here it is Christmas day and I am making them for the 12th time! My family just can't get enough and my youngest son cuts a quarter the pan at a time to eat because he loves them so much! They are soooo good and so easy to make. I make them exactly like the recipe states and they come out perfect every time!

SO easy to make and tasted great. I've always been a little wary about cake mix recipes, but this one turned out great. Not too tart, not too sweet. A great way to use up your whole cranberries!

These were awesome! The only thing I changed was I did 2 tsp of cinnamon instead of 1 tsp of cinnamon and 1 tsp of ginger, only because I didn't have any ginger. I will make these again!

I wasn't wild about these bars - I took them to my bookclub meeting (my allrecipe guinea pigs!) and thought they were just all right, nothing special. The others really like them, so maybe it's just me. That's why I'm giving it 3 stars.

I made this for Thanksgiving, and it was a hit! Love, will be making this again today!
