- In a medium bowl, stir together cranberry sauce, marmalade and vanilla. Sift remaining 1/3 c flour over cranberry mixture 1 tablespoon at a time, blending well after each addition. Spread evenly over baked and cooled crust. Add nuts to reserved oat mixture; sprinkle over top of cranberry filling.
- Bake about 30 minutes, or until lightly brown. Cool in pan on rack. Cut into 64 (about 1 1/2 x 2-inch) bars, cutting 8 strips both ways. Store in airtight container at room temperature for 1 week or freeze for longer storage.
