REVIEWS:

Wow very easy to make and I love using fresh cranberry. They are yummy, I will be making these again.

These were so good! I have served them on two separate occasions, and I have gotten rave reviews both times! I even forgot the orange peel, but it didn't seem to matter. I also used 1/2 cup regular and 1/2 cup whole wheat flour in the crust/crumble. Will definitely be making these again.

For the filling, I used our homemade cranberry sauce and added a little orange juice and cinnamon. The crumble parts were definitely crumbly but overall, the recipe is a keeper.

I did not like this recipe at all. The crust was good but the cranberry filling was awful! I kept telling myself too try it again but I couldn't even swallow it!

I just made these today. It is very easy and very good. I used some orange marmalade instead of grated orange peel because that's what I had on hand. I added some cinnamon to the crumble because we really like cinnamon. Very tasty. I'll make these again.

These are very tasty and very easy to make. I used a smaller pan (11x7)because I wanted the filling to be a little thicker and so that the crust didn't have to be spread so thin. They turned out great!

These are very good and are always a hit! I have also used apple pie filling for the inside. I would suggest doubling the amount for the filling. Just using the amount that is posted is not enough.

These are so easy to make! I make them every Thanksgiving and they have become a staple at our Thanksgiving dinner. Everyone loves them!

I'd love to use this recipe with different fruits as well.

I found these bars to be a little boring and bland. They were so flat,the bars would bend when you''d pick them up. I won''t be making this recipe again.

This recipe is great - easy and quick! It's also a nice way to use cranberries, which we love.

I made these for Thanksgiving. They are absolutely wonderful!!! I halved the recipe and made them in a 9" square baking pan. They are deliciously buttery and sweet.
