Instructions
Line a 9x13" pan with tin foil and spray with non stick spray. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Stir together cranberries and 6 tbsp sugar. Set aside.
Combine 2 cups flour, baking soda, oats, sugar and brown sugar in a large bowl. Stir in melted butter until crumbly. Set aside 1 cup of flour mixture.
Press remaining flour mixture into prepared pan and bake for 6-8 minutes, until crust appears dry but not browned.
Sprinkle crust with cranberries and pecans. Combine caramel sauce with remaining ⅓ cup flour and pour over top. Sprinkle with remaining flour mixture and press down gently. Bake 20-25 more minutes until lightly browned.
Cool on a wire rack and cut into bars.
