There was no mention of reserving some of the topping???? As a seasoned baker l allowed for this but a novice would have been left in the lurch! otherwise not a bad square.

The picture for this recipie shows a topping. However the instructions say nothing about setting aside 1/2 of the crust ingredients to use as topping, or if there is something else to use for the topping - it just says to bake the crust, then add the filling and bake again - so what's that on top in the picture - or is this the wrong picture?

The way the directions are written for this recipe does not match the photo. I'm sure some of the crust ingredients should be reserved to sprinkle on top, but how much?

You have two recipes on your site. The above, Cranberry Pecan Bars is different than the Coconut Cranberry Bars I was questioning. I'll figure out what to do by myself. Revelee

Sounds delicious. However, I don't think the instructions are correct. The picture shows a top crust, but the directions say to fold in the cranberries AND the coconut, pecans and orange peel. No directions for the topping. Mistake??? Would love to try these.
