Obsessed with Starbucks Cranberry Bliss Bars? Us too! That's why we want to make a big batch for the holidays and this is the easiest Starbucks copycat recipe. The chewy blondies are studded with white chocolate chips and cranberries and then get a sweet orange cream cheese frosting and an extra drizzle of white chocolate just for fun. Be sure to cut them into triangles just like Starbucks would and serve it alongside a Copycat Frappuccino.

Ingredients

For the blondies

2 1/2 cups
all-purpose flour
1 tsp.
baking powder
1/2 tsp.
ground ginger
1/2 tsp.
kosher salt
1 cup
(2 sticks) butter, melted
1 1/4 cups
packed brown sugar
2
large eggs
1 tsp.
pure vanilla extract
1 cup
dried cranberries
1/2 cup
white chocolate chips

For the frosting

1
(8-oz.) block cream cheese, softened
1 1/2 cups
powdered sugar
Zest of 1/2 orange
1/2 tsp.
pure vanilla extract
1/3 cup
dried cranberries
1/4 cup
white chocolate chips, melted

Directions

1. Step 1Preheat oven to 350° with a rack in center of oven. Line a 9”-x-13” baking pan with parchment, leaving a 2” overhang on 2 sides. Grease parchment with cooking spray. In a medium bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, ginger, and salt.
2. Step 2In a large bowl, whisk melted butter and sugar until combined. Add eggs and vanilla, and mix until incorporated. Add dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Stir in dried cranberries and white chocolate chips.
3. Step 3Pour batter into prepared pan and smooth top. Bake until golden on the edges and a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean, 23 to 25 minutes. Let cool completely.
4. Step 4Make frosting: In a large bowl using a hand mixer, beat cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth. Add zest and vanilla, and beat to combine.
5. Step 5Using an offset spatula, frost cooled blondies. Top with dried cranberries, then drizzle with melted chocolate. Refrigerate until chocolate is hardened, about 20 minutes. Cut blondies into 24 triangles.
