Cranberry Bars

I love the chance to use cranberries in recipes.
These cranberry bars combine my favorites: Cranberries, cream cheese & sweetened condensed milk. Yummy!

Because I can't get fresh cranberries in the Philippines, I love this recipe that uses canned.
Enjoy :)

2 cups flour
1 1/2 cups oats
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
1 cup butter, softened
8 oz. cream cheese, softened
14 oz. can sweetened condensed milk
1/4 cup lemon juice
1 T. brown sugar
2 T. cornstarch
16 oz. can cranberry sauce

1. In a large bowl, combine flour, oats, 3/4 cup brown sugar and butter. Mix until crumbly. Reserve 1 1/2 cups of crumb mixture; set aside.
2. Press remaining crumbs firmly into a greased 9 x 13 inch pan.
3. In a small bowl, beat 8 oz. softened cream cheese until fluffy. Gradually add sweetened condensed milk. Stir in lemon juice. Spread evenly over crust.
