Primier Cheesecake Cranberry Bars

I have made these bars several times, I always get great compliments and everyone wants the recipe. I have also omitted the Cranberry Sauce & Cornstarch and replaced it with a 21oz can of raspberry pie filling / topping. Very good!

Absolutely delicious -- I sent a pan of these to my husband's office and everyone loved them! They disappeared in minutes flat and even got me a marriage proposal! LOL. I lined my baking pan with tin foil and sprayed the foil lightly with cooking spray. Used lite cream cheese, reduced fat sweetened condensed milk and about three cups of cran. sauce. These bars really thrill the taste buds; all who tasted gave these two thumbs up and are waiting for more.

This is a wonderful spin on a cream cheese dessert. The tartness of the cranberries with the creamy mellow sweet cheese was a great combination.
