I substituted dried cranberries instead of fresh cranberries & chopped walnuts instead of pretzels. They are delicious. Everyone loves them.

I've modified this recipe and it's become a family favorite. All is the same except I substitute 1 cup DRIED CHERRIES instead of the fresh cranberries (chop the dried cherries in half, and 1 cup CHOPPED PECANS instead of the pretzels. DIVINE. Try it!

I doubled the recipe for a party. To cover a 9x13 pan you do need two packages of dough. I baked it for 20 minutes before adding the toppings. The toppings did not need to be doubled because it was too much. In the future I will double the dough but only add the toppings for one batch - I think the toppings should be halved regardless.
The flavor combination is great though - the cranberries are the perfect foil for the sweet chocolate chips.

I replaced the crust; Spray the pan well with Pam first. Mix 1& 1/3C graham cracker crumbs and a stick of melted butter. Press into the pan and then layer all the other goodies. Cook for 25 minutes and cool completely. Super yummy.

I wish I had read the reviews! I baked the cookie crust for more like 25 minutes, so I was very surprised that the middle seemed like it wasn't quite done! They smell heavenly with the orange, but I wish the pretzels were crunchier. They're not the worst of the new recipes I tried this holiday season, but they're still not really good enough to make again.

Terril1979, the crust I made had 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1 cup oatmeal, 3/4 cup brown sugar and 1/2 cup soft butter. Blend them together and press into a 9x13 greased pan. Then I baked it 18 or so minutes, just like the original recipe does with the cookie dough base.
Good luck!

Would you please give the amounts for your homemade crust?

After reading other reviews, I replaced the cookie base with a homemade crust of flour, butter, brown sugar and oatmeal, and baked that 15 minutes before adding the milks & toppings. I also used orange flavored dried cranberries. They held up wonderfully and taste really good. Thank you for the recipe!

I agree with Margaret642. These were very soggy in the middle. I think you might need to either bake them a little bit longer or cut them into bars right out of the refrigerator. I'm going to make them again and try both of those ideas. I don't think the parchment paper would help.
