Cranberry Cheesecake Bars

2 C Flour

1 1/2 C quick or old-fashioned oats

1/4 C packed brown sugar

1 C butter or margarine, softened

2 C white chocolate chip morsels

1 8 oz package cream cheese, softened

1 can (14 oz) Sweetened Condensed Milk

1/4 C lemon juice

1 tsp vanilla extract

1 can (16 oz) whole berry cranberry sauce (but I used the jellied cranberry & it was yummy)

2 TBSP cornstarch

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease 9 X 13 baking pan. Combine flour, oats and brown sugar in a large bowl. Add butter; mix until crumbly. Stir in white chocolate chip morsels. Reserve 2 1/2 C mixture for topping. With floured fingers, press remaining mixture into prepared pan.

Beat cream cheese in a large mixer bowl until creamy. Add sweetened condensed milk, lemon juice and vanilla extract; mix until smooth. Pour over crust. Combine cranberry sauce and cornstarch in a medium bowl. Spoon and smooth over cream cheese mixture. Sprinkle reserved morsel mixture over cranberry mixture.

Bake for 35-40 minutes or until center is set. Cool completely in pan on a wire rack. Cover; refrigerate until serving time.

ENJOY your leftovers!
