Cranberry bars

Cranberry really is something that evokes "holiday" in my mind. Granted, I eat dried cranberries all year (it's in my homemade granola), the smell of cranberry cooking away is reminiscent of Thanskgiving and Christmas.

This year, I was asked to make some truly decadent cranberry white chocolate bars. These sure are the devil in disguise, I definitely can't imaging having more than one of these squares.


Cranberry Cluster Bars
1/2 cup butter, melted and cooled
1 1/2 cup ground graham cracker crumb
1 can sweetened condensed milk
2 cup white chocolate
1 1/2 cup dried cranberries
1 cup flaked coconut 
1. If using whole graham crackers (I used HoneyMaid), pulse one sleeve of graham crackers (~30 crackers)  in a food processor until evenly ground.
2. With your hands, mix butter and graham cracker until crumbly. Press into a 7" x 11" casserole dish.
3. In a medium bowl, combine condensed milk, white chocolate, cranberries and coconut until even. Spread over the graham cracker base.
4. Bake at 350F for 25 minutes, rotating halfway through for even brownness.
5. Cool evenly. Chill fully, and slice into bars.
