Very proud of my 12 year old Holly, she came up with this recipe idea thanksgiving eve! They turned out so yummy and were gone before noon on Thanksgiving Day!!

Kudos Holly! There are so many flavors in these bars. The cinnamon really shines through in the graham cracker crust. The cranberries give a sweet, tart flavor. And the chocolate on top ties it all together! Test Kitchen Avatar The Test Kitchen
