Health and fertility benefits of Caramel Cranberry Bars Recipe

Researchers believe that cranberries contain substances that prevent infection-causing bacteria from sticking to the urinary tract walls. However, store-bought cranberry juice is typically all sugar - so make sure to stick with straight cranberries.

Ingredients

1 package (12 ounces) fresh or frozen cranberries, thawed
1 package (8 ounces) chopped dates
3/4 cup chopped pecans
2 tablespoons plus 1/2 cup sugar, divided
2-1/3 cups all-purpose flour, divided
2 cups old-fashioned oats
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup butter, melted
3/4 cup caramel ice cream topping

Instructions

In a small bowl, combine the cranberries, dates, pecans and 2 tablespoons sugar; set aside.
In a large bowl, combine 2 cups flour, oats, brown sugar, baking soda and remaining sugar. Stir in butter; set aside 1 cup for topping. Press remaining crumb mixture into a greased 13-in. x 9-in. baking dish. Bake at 350 ° for 15 minutes.
Meanwhile, place the remaining flour in a small bowl. Stir in caramel topping until smooth; set aside. Sprinkle cranberry mixture over crust; drizzle with caramel mixture. Sprinkle with reserved crumb mixture.
Bake for 30-35 minutes or until golden brown and bubbly. Cool on a wire rack. Cut into bars. Store in the refrigerator.
