White Chocolate Cranberry Bars

White Chocolate Cranberry Oatmeal Bars are a favorite for the holidays with the pretty red color from the cranberries.  Yet these slightly sweet bars loaded with nutrient rich oats are perfect for any time of year.  These bars are easy to make and pack in the kid’s lunch and are not overloaded with lots of butter or sugar!
