2. Prepare Batter: In a medium mixing bowl, beat the eggs until thick and creamy. Gradually add the sugar, beating until the mixture is thoroughly blended and slightly fluffy.

3. Incorporate Dry Ingredients: Stir in the all-purpose flour and melted butter, ensuring they are well combined with the egg and sugar mixture. The batter should be smooth and uniform.

4. Add Cranberries and Walnuts: Gently fold in the fresh cranberries and chopped walnuts, mixing until they are evenly distributed throughout the batter. Be careful not to overmix, as this could result in a dense texture.

5. Transfer to Pan: Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan, ensuring it reaches all corners for uniform baking.

6. Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the top turns golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

7. Cool and Serve: Allow the Cranberry Nut Bars to cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Once cooled, cut them into bars of your desired size.
