Chocolate, Cranberry & Oat Bars image

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! :)

These bars were delicious! I made them for a party and they were a hit. The only thing I would change is to use a little less sugar.
