CHOCOLATE, CRANBERRY & OAT BARS
From Kraft. These turned out so moist and delicious! Used 1 1/4 cup of brown sugar and will lower it next time to 1 cup to lower a bit the calories! Also used about 1/2 cup of mini chocolate chips instead of the baking squares. You've got to try this! :)

Tips:
- Use old-fashioned rolled oats for the best texture.
- Be sure to toast the oats before using them. This will help to bring out their flavor.
- Don't over-mix the batter. Over-mixing will make the bars tough.
- Press the batter firmly into the pan. This will help to prevent the bars from crumbling.
- Bake the bars until they are just set. Over-baking will make them dry.
- Let the bars cool completely before cutting them. This will help to prevent them from falling apart.
- Store the bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
Conclusion:
These chocolate oat bars are a delicious and easy-to-make treat. They are perfect for a snack or dessert. The oats give the bars a chewy texture, while the chocolate chips add a rich, decadent flavor. These bars are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
