CRANBERRY BLISS BARS (STARBUCKS COPYCAT)
You'll find these bars at Starbucks during special holidays. The texture is like a chewy brownie, but the flavors include white chocolate, zesty orange, and cranberry, finished with a cream cheese frosting. NOTES - this recipe uses a 10x15 pan. One of the photos shows you how to make the right cuts to create signature triangle shapes. Nov. 2013 note - the bars bought from Starbucks have gone down-hill this year with icing that is flavorless and no real ginger flavor to the bars. Skip Starbucks and make your own! For Valentine's Day, I used a heart-shaped cookie cutter and tinted the icing pink. They were beautiful!

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees (325 for a glass or dark pan). Prepare a 10x15 by lining it with parchment paper or use a non-stick spray.
- BARS: With an electric mixer, beat together softened butter and sugars 3-5 minutes until light; gently blend in eggs and orange extract (don't overbeat eggs). Add the flour, baking powder, and ginger and beat briefly. Add the cranberries and chips, stirring just until incorporated.
- Spread thick batter in prepared 10x15 pan. Bake 350 for 20-24 minutes until light brown AT EDGES and a skewer tests clean. Don't overbake or your bars will be dry. Let it cool completely. NOTE: If you use a 9x13 pan, the bars will be thicker and will take 26-28 minutes.
- FROSTING: Blend cream cheese and butter until fluffy. Add orange extract and confectioners sugar and beat until frosting is fluffy and spreadable (adding 1 t. milk if needed). Spread evenly over COOLED bars.
- GARNISH: Use a zester to remove rind from an orange; sprinkle zest over frosted bars. Chop 1/3 cup Craisins coarsely; sprinkle over frosted bars.
- DRIZZLE: Mix white chocolate and oil in a glass measuring cup. Microwave 1 minute; stirring every 15 seconds until melted. Use a fork or whisk to drizzle the white chocolate diagonally across the bars.
- Allow one hour for the white chocolate to set before cutting. **To make signature Starbuck triangles, cut into 20 large squares (5 cuts by 4 cuts with the knife). Then cut each square in half diagonally to create triangles.

Steps:
- 1. DIRECTIONS FOR CRUST: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a 15 X 10-inch shallow baking pan with parchment paper. NOTE: I used a 9 X 13-inch pan and I sprayed bottom of pan with PAM before placing parchment paper in bottom of pan. Butter all 4 sides of pan.
- 2. In your food processor, place the flour, brown sugar, and salt and process to combine. Add the cold butter and pulse until the pastry starts to come together and form clumps. Transfer the pastry to the prepared pan and, using your fingertips, evenly press the pastry onto the bottom of the pan. (Can use a metal spatual to form an even layer.) Gently pierce the bottom of the crust with the tines of a fork. (This will prevent the pastry crust from puffing up while it bakes.) Cover and place the pastry crust in the freezer for 15 minutes to chill. (This will help prevent the crust from shrinking while it bakes.)
- 3. Bake in the middle of the oven until golden and firm to the touch, about 15 to 17 minutes; cool in pan on a rack. NOTE: Using a 9 X 13-inch pan, I baked for 20 minutes.
- 4. DIRECTIONS FOR CARAMEL TOPPING: Melt butter in a 3-quart heavy saucepan over a medium heat; stir in sugar, corn syrup, and salt. Boil over a medium heat, stirring occasionally, until mixture registers 245 degrees on a candy thermometer, about 8 minutes.
- 5. Carefully stir in cranberries; boil until caramel returns to 245 degrees.
- 6. Remove from heat; stir in vanilla; add pecans and stir until well coated.
- 7. Working quickly, spread caramel topping over base, using a form to distribute nuts and cranberries evenly; sprinkle coconut and chocolate chips over top; cool completely.
- 8. FOR THE GARISH: Melt chocolate in a double boiler or a metal bowl set over a saucepan of barely simmering water; stir until smooth.
- 9. Remove bowl from heat and continue stirring until completely cool. Using either a pastry bag or using a spoon; lightly drizzle the chocolate over the bars; let cool completely. NOTE: I used a ziploc bag and snipped a very small corner of the bag.
- 10. Once cooled; cut into 36 bars and serve.
