Seven Layer Cranberry Bars image

A fall twist to the original 7-Layer Magic Bars with the addition of bright red autumn cranberries and other fall harvest goodies. These bar cookies are so good with an ooey, gooey texture and sweet, tangy, coconut goodness in every bite.

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
3/4 cup graham cracker crumbs
3/4 cup white chocolate chips (or vanilla baking morsels)
1/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1/4 cup chopped walnuts
1 cup dried cranberries (or craisins)
1 cup sweetened coconut flakes, shredded (loosely filled, not packed)
10 oz sweetened condensed milk (about 2/3 of a 14-oz can)

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Line an 8-by-8-inch baking pan with parchment paper that extends 2 inches on both ends. Lightly spray parchment with no-stick cooking spray; set pan aside.
  • 2. Toss the graham crackers crumbs and butter together with a fork until crumbs are evenly coated.
  • 3. Place crumb mixture in prepared baking pan, and use your fingertips to pat crumbs into a single layer that covers the bottom of the baking pan. Run the back of a large spoon over the surface to form a smooth, flat layer.
  • 4. Evenly sprinkle the white chocolate chips on top. Then add a layer of chocolate chips, nuts, cranberries, and coconut (in that order). Evenly drizzle the condensed milk over the top.
  • 5. Place baking dish in oven and bake for about 22 to 28 minutes, or until lightly golden brown around edges and the center is mostly set. Watch closely in the final few minutes of baking time, because the coconut can burn quite quickly.
  • 6. Place pan on a wire rack to cool in pan for at least 2 hours (or longer) before slicing and serving. Bars will firm up as they cool. Bars will keep airtight at room temperature for up to 1 week, or for up to 6 months in the freezer if wrapped well and kept in airtight container.

These bars were easy to make and they looked beautiful, but they were a bit dry. I think I would have preferred a moister cranberry filling. Otherwise, they were good.

These bars were a bit too tart for my taste. I think I would have preferred a sweeter cranberry filling. Otherwise, they were good.

These bars were delicious! The cranberries were tart and the cream cheese frosting was smooth and creamy. The only thing I would change is to add a little bit more sugar to the cranberry filling. Otherwise, they were perfect!
