Steps:
- Melt the butter in a 9x13 inch pan by putting the pan in a 350 degree oven.
- Keep an eye on the butter, and when it's melted, take the pan out of the oven(but keep the oven at 350 degrees) and sprinkle the graham cracker crumbs over top.
- Mix this well and then press it evenly on the bottom of the pan to form your crust.
- Next, in a microwave safe bowl, mix together the marshmellow creme and the Nutella.
- Microwave this mixture for 30-60 seconds, just until it's smooth, easy to stir and a little warm.
- Drop spoonfuls of the Nutella mixture around the crust in little blobs.
- Now take your kiwi slices and evenly scatter them on top.
- Pour the can of sweetened condensed milk over everything evenly.
- Scatter the cranberries, cashews, milk chocolate chips and white chocolate chips next.
- Lightly press down the layers in the pan.
- Bake in your 350 degree pre-heated oven for 25-30 minutes; it should be browned slightly around the edges.
- Let cool completely, then slice into bars and put in the fridge for at least an hour to help them set up a bit.
- Store covered in the fridge, and enjoy!
FRUIT AND NUT BARS
A real standout at the pot-luck dessert table amid the brownies and chocolate chip cookies. Very easy to make, but do it the night before to give them time to cool ALL the way. They're better the next day anyway. If you need to leave out the nuts just up the amount of fruit.

Steps:
- prepare cookie sheet or jelly-roll pan by lining with foil and spraying with cooking spray; they'll never come out of the pan otherwise!

Tips:
- Use fresh, ripe fruit. This will give your bars the best flavor and texture.
- Chop the fruit and nuts into small pieces. This will help them distribute evenly throughout the bars.
- Be careful not to overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the bars tough.
- Press the batter firmly into the pan. This will help the bars hold together.
- Bake the bars until they are golden brown. This will ensure that they are cooked through.
- Let the bars cool completely before cutting them. This will help them keep their shape.
- Store the bars in an airtight container at room temperature. They will keep for up to 3 days.
