Sweet and chewy, these fun bars combine the flavors of oats, cranberries, brown sugar and pecans. I like to sprinkle the squares with confectioners’ sugar before serving. —Sally Wakefield, Bruceton Mills, West Virginia

These bars are wonderful and SO easy! I have substituted apple pie filling and mincemeat and both were excellent!

I was so relieved to find this recipe again online. I promised to bring these to another church function, and couldn't find my copy. Many, many compliments and so easy.
