Chocolate Chip Cranberry Cheese Bars

1 cup butter or margarine, softened
1 cup firmly packed brown sugar
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups quick or old-fashioned oats
2 t grated orange peel
2 cups (12 oz pkg) semi-sweet chocolate morsels (I always use milk, or better yet, white)
1 cup Craisins
1 8-oz pkg cream cheese, softened
1 can (14-oz) sweetened condensed milk

Preheat oven to 350. Grease a 13 X 9 baking pan.

Beat butter and brown sugar in a large mixing bowl until creamy. Gradually beat in flour, oats, and orange peel until crumbly. Stir in morsels and cranberries; reserve 2 cups mixture. Press remaining mixture onto bottom of prepared baking pan.

Bake for 15 minutes. Beat cream cheese in small mixing bowl until smooth. Gradually beat in sweetened condensed milk. Pour over hot crust; sprinkle with reserved flour mixture. Bake for additional 25 to 30 minutes or until center is set. Cool in pan on wire rack. Cut into bars.

ENJOY!!!! THESE ARE SO YUMMY!!!
