Cranberry Bliss Bars (Starbucks Copycat)

Cranberry Bliss Bars – a homemade version of the popular Starbucks treat! These taste just like the original, and are easy to make right at home!

This is my absolute favorite dessert to make for the holidays. They are fabulous for parties, gift-giving, and everything in between during the festive season.

Ingredients:

- Kenneth L Brotzel

- unsalted butter - brown sugar - eggs - orange extract - vanilla extract - ground ginger - baking powder - salt - all purpose flour - white chocolate chips - dried cranberries - cream cheese - powdered sugar - almond bark

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 15x10 or 13x9 inch jelly roll pan or rimmed cookie sheet with parchment paper.

Beat together melted butter and brown sugar over medium speed with an electric mixer. Add in eggs, 1 tsp orange extract, and 1 tsp vanilla extract and beat until mixed well. Add in ground ginger, baking powder, salt, and flour, beating until just blended.

Stir in white chocolate chips and Craisins by hand. Spread evenly into the bottom of prepared pan. Bake in preheated oven for 18-22 minutes until set and golden brown at the edges. Don't overbake or bars will be hard.

Remove from oven and place pan on a wire rack to cool. Allow bars to cool completely before topping with frosting.

To make the frosting, beat cream cheese and powdered sugar together with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy. Add 1/2 tsp orange extract and 1/2 tsp vanilla extract and mix well.
