Preparation

Step 1

In a large bowl, combine flour, oats and brown sugar; cut in butter until coarse crumbs form. Stir in chocolate chips; reserve 2-1/2 cups of crumb mixture for topping.

With floured fingers, press remaining mixture into a greased 13x9" baking pan; set aside.

Beat cream cheese in a large bowl until creamy. Add condensed milk, lemon juice and vanilla; mix until smooth. Pour cream cheese mixture over crust.

Combine cranberry sauce and cornstarch; spoon over cream cheese mixture. Sprinkle reserved crumb mixture over top.

Bake at 375 degrees for 35 to 40 minutes, until golden. Let cool and cut into bars.

Makes 2 dozen.
