How to Make Cranberry Nanaimo Bars
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Prepare the base: In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, sugar, and cocoa powder. Mix well until evenly moistened.
- Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a greased 8x8 inch baking pan.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until lightly golden.
- Let cool completely.
- Prepare the cranberry layer: In a saucepan, combine cranberries, sugar, orange zest, and cornstarch. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring constantly, until cranberries burst and the mixture thickens.
- Remove from heat and stir in lemon juice. Let cool completely.
- Spread the cranberry mixture evenly over the cooled base.
- Prepare the chocolate ganache: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine chocolate chips and heavy cream. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until melted and smooth.
- Pour the ganache over the cranberry layer and spread evenly.
- Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until set.
- Cut into squares and serve.
