Light Cranberry Bars
I created this light version to reduce the fat and sugar found in a recipe by Bonnie Young (Recipe #12199). These taste wonderful and you would never know that they were light! These go together in a snap and are real crowd pleasers. I make them year-round using frozen cranberries. If you don't have frozen or fresh berries - I don't recommend using dried fruit.
