Cranberry Bliss Bars
"Just like the popular Starbucks Cranberry Bliss Bars and the taste is spot-on. These very authentic bars are so fast and easy to make. The batter comes together in one bowl, by hand, in just minutes. While the bars bake make the cream cheese and white-chocolate frosting, get the cranberries ready for sprinkling, and pour a cup of coffee. For anyone who loves the Starbucks version, these are can be made year-round at home for pennies on the dollar and taste every bit as fabulous and then some...."
