If you’re an avid Starbucks coffee drinker, chances are good that you’ve seen their cranberry bliss bars each year on their holiday menu! They’re made with a cranberry white chocolate blondie base, topped with cream cheese frosting, and a sprinkle of dried cranberries plus some white chocolate for good measure. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But, like most baked goods, these homemade cranberry bliss bars beat out the store-bought version every time! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For this recipe, I drew inspiration from my classic blondie recipe<\/a> (a reader favorite!). In addition to white chocolate chips, I incorporated dried cranberries and ground ginger in the batter to amp up the festive flavor. The cream cheese frosting is flavored with orange zest, which complements the sweet and tart cranberries perfectly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Skip the line next time and make a big batch of these bars to give as gifts this holiday season instead! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
