We all have different guilty pleasure sweets. Maybe it's a slice of cheesecake or a scoop of good ice cream. Perhaps it's a decadent hot chocolate with piles of whipped cream. Or maybe you can't quite walk by the case at Starbucks without thinking twice about those Cranberry Bliss Bars. Well now we've found a recipe so you can make them at home in no more than 30 minutes.
I've tried to recreate restaurant recipes before and it's a tough job. But these bars look pretty darn close to perfection. The batter requires just one bowl and the ingredients are likely ones you already have on hand. The only difference you'll notice is this recipe relies on more white chocolate chunks and cranberries than Starbucks does in their version, and she the frosting is spread on just a bit thicker. All good things.

Oh my goodness, I keep resisting the cranberry bliss bars in the stores, but I HAVE to make these at home tonight! Thank you for sharing the recipe, I can't believe they look so easy!
Believe it or not, I've never had one of these at Starbucks! I'm tempted to try this and see which is better...making them at home is probably three times cheaper! ;-)
I tried making these last night. They came out very similar to the Starbucks version, but they were extremely sweet. I highly recommend cutting the sugar down in both the frosting and the blondie.
Update: I took the batch to a party and people raved over them! I guess they are not too sweet after all.
