With their sweet-and-tart flavor and ooey-and-gooey texture, these bars are easy to love and easy to make. To pull together a pan, you’ll only need 15 minutes of hands-on time, which makes them perfect for any holiday get-together (especially the ones that sneak up on you). And since they’re baked in a sturdy 13x9 pan, they’re easy to tote along. Keep a box of Betty Crocker™ Super Moist™ yellow cake mix—the secret shortcut ingredient in this recipe—on hand and you’ll be able to pull off these cranberry-studded and powdered sugar-sprinkled bars whenever you need an easy and crowd-pleasing dessert.
