[Guest guest]

This is my reply to digest#343: Happy Christmas Eve!

Here is a recipe that i love; they look so pretty on any

cookie platter. Cranberries just make me think of the

holidays. i hope everyone here is enjoying this special

time of year.

 

Cranberry Bog Bars

 

1 1/4 cups vegan margarine, divided

1 1/2 cups packed brown sugar, divided

3 1/2 cups old-fashioned oats, divided

1 cup whole wheat flour

1 can (16 oz.) whole-berry cranberry sauce

1/2 cup finely chopped walnuts

 

In a large mixing bowl, cream 1 cup margarine and

1 cup brown sugar; stir in 2 1/2 cups oats and the flour.

Press into a greased 13 inch by 9 inch baking pan.

Spread with the cranberry sauce.

In a microwave-safe bowl, melt remaining margarine;

stir in the walnuts [or pecans if you prefer], and remaining

brown sugar and oats. Sprinkle mixture evenly over

cranberry layer. Bake at 375û for 25 to 30 minutes, or

until lightly browned. Cool before cutting into bars.

Yield: 2 dozen ~ depending on how big you slice

The street cars are

Like frosted cakes --

All covered up

With cold snowflakes.

 

The horses' hoofs

Scrunch on the street;

Their eyelashes

Are white with sleet.

 

And everywhere

The people go

With faces tickled

By the snow
