These little bars are great to snack on, are perfect at holiday time, and would be excellent for a cookie exchange. If you have leftover dough after forming the bars, don't worry, I find that the thinner the crust, the better.

Tips:
- Use fresh or frozen cranberries. Fresh cranberries are available in the fall and winter, while frozen cranberries are available year-round. If using frozen cranberries, thaw them before using.
- Chop the cranberries coarsely. This will help them to distribute evenly throughout the cereal bars.
- Use old-fashioned rolled oats. These oats will provide a chewy texture to the cereal bars.
- Add chopped nuts or seeds for extra crunch. Some good options include walnuts, pecans, almonds, sunflower seeds, or flax seeds.
- Use pure maple syrup or honey as a natural sweetener. These sweeteners will add a delicious flavor to the cereal bars without being too overpowering.
- Press the mixture firmly into the pan. This will help the cereal bars to hold together well.
- Chill the cereal bars for at least 30 minutes before cutting them. This will make them easier to cut and will help them to set properly.
Conclusion:
Cranberry oat cereal bars are a delicious and healthy snack that is perfect for on-the-go. They are made with simple, wholesome ingredients and are packed with flavor.
