Premier Cheesecake Cranberry Bars

Premier Cheesecake Cranberry Bars
adapted from Nestle Best Loved recipes
I make these at thanksgiving when I have an extra cranberry sauce (and I make sure I always have extra cranberry sauce :) )

2 Cups all-purpose flour
1 ½ cups quick or old fashioned oats
¼ cup packed light brown sugar
1 cup (2 sticks) butter or margarine, softened
2 cups (12 oz package) NESTLE TOLL HOUSE Premier White Morsels (White chocolate chips or you could use vanilla chips - I prefer white chocolate)
1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
1 can (14 oz) Sweetened condensed Milk
¼ cup lemon juice
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 can (16 oz) whole-berry cranberry sauce
2 Tbl cornstarch

Preheat oven to 350°.  Grease 13x9-inch baking pan (Grease very well - this stuff sticks).

Combine flour, oats, and brown sugar in a large bowl.  Add butter; mix until crumbly.  Stir in morsels. 
Reserve 2 ½ cups morsel 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 medium bowl.  Spoon over cream cheese mixture.  Sprinkle reserved morsel mixture over cranberry mixture.

Bake for 35 to 40 minutes or until center is set.  Cool completely in pan on wire rack.  Cover; refrigerate until serving time (up to 1 day).  Cut into bars.  Makes 2 ½ dozen bars.
