How to Make Chocolate Cranberry Bars
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 13x9 inch baking pan.
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs, ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder, and ½ cup granulated sugar.
- Cut in ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Press the crumb mixture evenly into the bottom and up the sides (about ½ inch) of the prepared baking pan.
- Pour one 14-ounce can of sweetened condensed milk evenly over the crumb mixture.
- Sprinkle evenly with 1 cup dried cranberries, ½ cup chocolate chips, and ½ cup chopped nuts (your choice of pecans, walnuts, or almonds).
- Press down firmly to settle the toppings into the condensed milk.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are lightly browned and the center is set.
- Let cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before covering with foil.
- Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the bars to set completely.
- Cut into bars and store covered at room temperature.
