Yummy! I made this with frozen cranberries. I added bran and flax seed to the white sugar to cut back on the sugar. I was out of brown sugar so I added approx 2 TBLS maple syrup. New favorite!
Have made these a few times. They are a firm bar, but we like them like that. The combination of cranberries, white chocolate and pecans is yummy!
Tasteful dessert bar. I make these upon request for a lot of family functions. They do not last long!
They come out a bit on the hard side.
Perfect Thanksgiving dessert. Easy to make and the flavor combination is really wonderful. I first made them in a 6 1/2 X 10 pan, at a lower heat, and they turned out crunchier, easier to eat and yielded more.
