It's such a pretty morning here. It's snowing pretty good and schools are on a 2 hour delay so far so I've got a little bit of time to play on the computer before I need to get my oldest up and off to school.
That is, unless they decide to cancel it for the day. (Keeping fingers crossed!)
This recipe is one that my Dad sampled over the holidays and really liked so he asked for the recipe. I love cranberry and cream cheese so the two together were delicious.
Cream Cheese Cranberry Bars
2 cups flour
1 1/2 cups oats
3/4 cup plus 1 tbsp. brown sugar
1 cup butter, softened
8 oz. cream cheese, softened
14 oz. can of sweetened condensed milk
1/4 cup lemon juice
16 oz. can of whole cranberry sauce
2 tbsp. cornstarch
Combine flour, oats, 3/4 cup sugar and butter till crumbly.
Set aside 1 1/2 cups of this mixture for the topping and press the remaining mixture in the bottom of a greased 13 X 9 pan.
Bake 15 minutes or till lightly browned at 350°.
While that is baking, beat cream cheese till fluffy.
Add sweetened condensed milk and lemon juice.
Spread this over baked crust.
Combine cranberry, corn starch and 1 tbsp. sugar in another bowl & mix well.
Pour this over the cheese layer.
Top with reserved crumbs.
Bake 45 minutes or till golden.
Cool, cut and refrigerate leftovers.
Enjoy!
Yippeee!!!!
School just called and said they are cancelled today due to the snow.
We could all go outside today and play, however, several of us have nasty colds so I guess we'll just admire the snow from indoors where it's nice and warm.
Enjoy your day!
