FOR THE FUDGE LAYER:
3/4 cups Evaporated Milk
1/3 cups Butter
1/4 cups Sugar
1/2 teaspoons Vanilla Extract
1-1/4 cup White Chocolate Chips
FOR THE OAT LAYER:
2/3 cups Butter
1/3 cups Brown Sugar
3/4 cups White Sugar
1 Large Egg
1-1/4 cup All-purpose Flour
1/2 teaspoons Baking Soda
1 pinch Salt
1-3/4 cup Rolled Oats
FOR THE CRANBERRY LAYER:
1/3 cups Dried Cranberries

1
In a small sauce pan, add all ingredients for the fudge layer except the white chocolate. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Stir in the white chocolate until melted and continue simmering until thickened to a thick caramel-like consistency.
2
Preheat the oven to 360u00b0F. Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish well.
3
To make the oat layer, in a large bowl cream the butter and sugars together for 5 minutes. Add the egg and continue beating until light in color, about 2 minutes.
4
Sift in the flour, baking soda and salt and mix until combined. Stir in the oats and press 3/4 of the mixture into the prepared baking pan.
5
Evenly sprinkle the cranberries over the oat batter. Pour the white chocolate fudge on top; work quickly because it gets sticky if it gets too cool. Drop blobs of the remaining oat mixture evenly over the fudge layer.
6
Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the top is golden. Cool in the pan before slicing and serving, or refrigerate overnight, or serve warm and gooey fresh out of the oven with spoons.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Taste as you go and adjust the seasoning before serving.
Avoid overcrowding the pan — cook in batches if needed for the best texture.
Let the dish rest for a few minutes before serving so the flavors settle.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
