To make these Cranberry Orange Bar Pleasures, you will need the following ingredients:

To start, preheat your oven to 350°F and line an 8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, powdered sugar, and salt until light and fluffy. Add in the flour and mix until well combined. Press the mixture into the bottom of the prepared pan and bake for 15 minutes.
While the crust is baking, prepare the filling. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, granulated sugar, orange zest, and orange juice until well combined. Add in the flour and baking powder and mix until smooth. Fold in the cranberries.
Once the crust has finished baking, pour the filling over the top and spread it out evenly. Return the pan to the oven and bake for an additional 25-30 minutes, or until the filling is set and the edges are golden brown.
Once the Cranberry Orange Bar Pleasures are finished baking, remove them from the oven and let them cool completely in the pan. Once cooled, cut them into squares and serve.
These Cranberry Orange Bar Pleasures are the perfect combination of sweet and tart. The crust is buttery and crumbly, while the filling is bursting with juicy cranberries and zesty orange flavor. These bars are perfect for any occasion and are sure to be a crowd-pleaser.
