Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups quick oats
- 1 1/2 cups flour
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 cup butter
- 1 1/2 cups cranberry sauce/jelly
Instructions
- Mix the first 4 ingredients together, then take the butter and cut it in, until it's perfectly crumbly. I find that rubbing it between your palms lightly works so well.
- Firmly press 2/3 of the mix into a greased 9 inch x 9 inch pan.
- Once the bottom layer is done, pour the cranberry sauce, or jelly, on top and spread out in an even layer.
- Crumble the rest of the topping over the jelly.
- Bake in a 350 degree oven for 35-40 minutes until it's a lovely brown color and crisp on top.
- Cool this completely and then slice into 25 squares. It is crumbly but if you are patient and cool it for a long time, they hold together.

Notes
- Because you don't make the filling, you can use as much OR as little cranberry sauce for the filling layer as you like in these bars!
