Very easy to make, and it came out delicious with great texture. I halved the recipe, used whole wheat flour, half butter and half olive oil, and baked it in 4 individual ramekins. I ate one while it was still warm, very good; later had one after chilled in the fridge, even better. Definitely a keeper.

Made a bunch of these cranberry chews at the weekend, and they were so good. I used half whole wheat flour, which I usually do when I bake. I also used 1/2 cup coconut oil and 1/2 cup butter, and these bars came out wonderfully delicious. I have been enjoying them for breakfast and snack. I froze most of the bars. A great recipe.
