- Remove from the heat and stir in vanilla; set aside.
- In a bowl, combine flour, oats, sugar, baking soda and salt.
- Stir in butter until crumbly.
- Press half into an ungreased 13-in. x 9-in. x 2-in. baking pan.
- Bake at 350 for 8 minutes. Spoon cranberry mixture over the crust; spread gently. Sprinkle with remaining crumb mixture;pat down gently.
- Bake at 350 for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. Cool.
- Combine glaze ingredients; drizzle over bars.
- Yield: 4 dozen.
