CRANBERRY TURTLE BARS

Steps:

• Make base:
• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• Line a 15- by 10-inch shallow baking pan (1 inch deep) with foil, leaving a 2-inch overhang on the 2 short sides. Butter all 4 sides (but not bottom).
• Blend flour, brown sugar, and salt in a food processor, then add butter and pulse until mixture begins to form small (roughly pea-size) lumps. Sprinkle into baking pan, then press down firmly all over with a metal spatula to form an even layer. Bake in middle of oven until golden and firm to the touch, 15 to 17 minutes, then cool in pan on a rack.
• Make topping:
• Melt butter in a 3-quart heavy saucepan over moderate heat and stir in sugar, corn syrup, and salt. Boil over moderately high heat, stirring occasionally, until caramel registers 245°F on thermometer, about 8 minutes. Carefully stir in cranberries, then boil until caramel returns to 245°F. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla, then stir in pecans until well coated. Working quickly, spread caramel topping over base, using a fork to distribute nuts and berries evenly. Cool completely.
• Cut and decorate bars:
• Lift bars in foil from pan and transfer to a cutting board. Cut into 6 crosswise strips, then 6 lengthwise strips to form 36 bars.
• Melt half of chocolate in top of a double boiler or a metal bowl set over a saucepan of barely simmering water, stirring until smooth. Remove bowl from heat and add remaining chocolate, stirring until smooth. Transfer chocolate to a small heavy-duty sealable plastic bag. Seal bag and snip off a tiny piece of 1 corner to form a small hole, then pipe chocolate decoratively over bars. Let stand at room temperature until chocolate sets, about 1 hour.

CRANBERRY OAT BARS

Steps:

• In a small saucepan over medium high heat, combine the cranberries, white sugar and orange zest. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and cook until the mixture has reduced to about 1 cup.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x9 inch baking pan, line with foil, then grease the foil.
• In a medium bowl, stir together the flour, oats, brown sugar, baking powder and salt. Cut in the butter using your hands or a pastry blender until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Press half of this mixture firmly into the prepared pan. Spread the cranberry sauce evenly over the base, then crumble the remaining oat mixture over the top.
• Bake for 10 to 15 minutes in the preheated oven, until the top is golden brown. Cool completely before cutting into bars.

CRANBERRY-NUT BARS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Spread the nuts on a cookie sheet and place them in the oven to toast. Grease and flour a nine-inch-square brownie pan and set aside.
• Rinse the cranberries well under running water; pick them over and discard any that are spoiled. Place the cranberries, sugar and water in a small saucepan and bring to a boil over medium heat. As soon as the cranberries have popped, remove from the heat and set aside.
• When the nuts are toasted, remove them from the oven and, as soon as they are cool enough to handle, chop them coarsely or process them in a food processor.
• In a bowl, mix together the chopped nuts, oatmeal, flour and brown sugar. Add the butter, cut in small pieces, and using the fingers or a wooden spoon, work the butter into the dry ingredients until you have a crumb-textured mixture.
• Place half the oatmeal mixture in the bottom of the brownie pan, smoothing it out to the edges of the pan. Cover the oatmeal mixture with the cranberry sauce and top the sauce with the remaining oatmeal mixture.
• Place in the preheated oven and bake for about 45 minutes, until the top is nicely browned. Cut in bars and serve immediately with vanilla ice cream. Keep any leftovers in a sealed cookie tin.
