We made as a crisp, I'm not a fan of cranberry, but my family & friends liked it. I would make again.

These were very good. I mashed the cranberry sauce well, and added a little bit of lemon extract to it. Also, I divided the oat mixture in two, and pressed half on the bottom of the pan, and sprinkled the other half on top. All in all very yummy...

These were crazy good. I couldn't believe it. Next time I will use another post's suggestion and make a bottom and top layer of "crust" and fill with cranberry mixture. However, after the second day, it was fine. You could pick up the "bar" and eat it.

This brought back child hood memories! It was a favorite of mine served in my elementary school cafeteria. The only thing ill do different is use two cans of cranberries.

As written, these are too sweet and full of butter! I read some of the reviews before making it, but its been a while . . . anyway, after it cooled off the butter reabsorbed but holy butter when I took it out of the oven! Good thing I don't need my cholesterol checked this week!. . . . seriously, they are good, but I would halve the butter and halve or 1/4 the sugar. You do not need that much! And thats why they only get 3 stars in my book. However, I did like how the sugar carmelized. Kinda nice and I've never had a cobbler/cookie do that. I made as written, although I toyed with making like cookies as others have. I used a 8x8 pan instead of 9x13 bc I like cobblers and cookies that way. I may make this again, but definitely not with that amount of butter or sugar!

These were pretty yummy! I used the other comments and put a layer of oat mixture on the bottom. They came out a little sticky so I let them stiffen a bit before I cut them into bars.

The only thing wrong with this recipe is the name. It should be called Cranberry Crisp. So many of the reviewers tried to make it into a bar recipe but as written it is really good! I made the Blue Cranberry Sauce (from this site) for Thanksgiving and used the leftovers for this in place of the canned jellied type. I served it warm from the oven with vanilla ice cream. It was a wonderful post Thanksgiving dessert.

I had so much leftover cranberry sauce, I decided to make this like a cobbler. Instead of using melted butter for the topping, I cut some cold butter into the mixture, and it turned out nice and crunchy. Soooo good with ice cream!

I found this recipe when I was searching to find an easy recipe to use up some leftover cranberry sauce. I will definitely cut the butter next time, probably in half. But otherwise I thought it was very tasty. I only had a little cranberry sauce, so I made individual desserts in ramekins. I just put my cranberries straight on the bottom of the ramekins and topped them with the topping. Then I served them warm with ice cream. It's like a very easy cobbler! Maybe not what the recipe was intended for, but yummy nonetheless.

Very good, but sticky! Beware... I would recommend using non-stick wax paper or non-stick aluminum foil to line to pan with because otherwise it is difficult to remove the pieces without them falling apart.

This is a good recipe with a few minor adjustments, reduce the butter to 1 1/2 sticks or 3/4 a cup, I reduced sugar to 1 2/3 cups and used only one cup brown and the rest white. I patted half of the crumb mixture on the bottom of a 13x9 pan, used my hands to "crumble" on the cranberry sauce (no need to spread really) evenly, and sprinkled on the rest of the oat mixture on top. I threw in some dried cranberries for texture with the jellied cranberry and topped the whole thing off with 1/2 a cup of chocolate chips. They were AWESOME! No eggs or milk so its great for restricted diets, next I will try it with even less sugar.

I used this recipe to finish up some leftover cranberry sauce from Thanksgiving. (I made about a 1/2 portion of the recipe in a 8x8 glass baking dish.) It came out of the oven about an hour ago, and I've already sneaked 2 little squares! They taste good! I did the same process as many, split the crumbs to be half on the bottom, half on top. I probably would even put just a little more on the bottom, to give the squares a little more strength as you pick them up. I cut the butter down to a little more than half, and that worked out fine. I also added some dried cranberries to the cranberry sauce, and I'm glad I did. I wound up with a very thin layer of cranberry sauce when I spread it on, but it turned out to be more than enough. I wouldn't consider increasing the amount of sauce. So far they taste GREAT warm, but they need to cool some more before I officially cut them into squares. (edited to add: About half of them were stuck to the bottom of the pan, so I only got about 8 small squares and the rest was more "crumbly". Would line iwth aluminum foil next time.)

The comments by KARENMOONAH were very helpful to me. I used an 8x8 inch pan, but I didn't have to scale down the recipe. I also layered the topping on the bottom, so the cranberry was in the middle. I used whole berry cranberry sauce. It was wonderful. My husband, who does not really enjoy cranberries loved it.

Very tasty. Only there was too much butter. Next time I will only use 1 stick (1/2 cup) of butter. I line my pan with Reynolds Release non-stick foil, it works better than Teflon, grease, or anything else.

Sorry, but this recipe did not turn out for me. It was really too greasy and buttery -- 1 cup of butter is waaaaay too much. The melted butter just kind of welled up on the sides. It didn't cut into squares -- it just crumbled, even after following advice of other reviewers. Maybe I will try heating it up and serving with ice cream. (edited to add: Nope! It has been in my refrigerator for a looong time now, and I think its time to toss it. Yucko.)

If you like cranberry, this recipe is excellent. I added the two cans of cranberry (one jellied and one whole cranberries) and layered it between the oat mixure as suggested by other reviewers. This made a great tasting dish, but I would not advise using two cans of cranberry if you actually want bars that can be easily cut and handled. This method produces more of a cranberry crisp. It was very good with vanilla ice cream!

I agree that these hold together MUCH better if you press half the oat mixture into the pan first, and put the cranberry in the middle. Very tasty. Scale to 2/3, and it fits very nicely into an 8 inch square pan.
