Hi to all of Remodelaholics friends! I’m Ruthie from What’s Cooking with Ruthie.com. I love visiting with all of you each month and sharing tasty recipes!      Today… I’m sharing these mouth watering Starbucks Cranberry Bliss Bars they are so Beautiful and Delicious too!

Starbucks-Cranberry-Bliss-Bar2-461x600

A few weeks ago Drew and I went out to Denver CO to visit my good friend, Emily and her cute family! While Em and I were out running around the city we stopped at Starbucks… AND fell head-over-heals in LOVE with their Cranberry Bliss Bars! Holy Cow. You’re in for an amazing treat!! True to my I-need-to-duplicate-that-at-home self…. I’ve come up with a very delicious version 🙂

 

Starbucks Cranberry Bliss Bars (copycat)

Dough:
1/2 C butter, softened 3 C flour
1 (8oz) neufatchel cream cheese
1 tsp baking soda
1 C sugar 1 tsp salt
2 eggs
3/4 C white chocolate chips
2 tsp vanilla
 3/4 C dried cranberries, coarsely chopped
Frosting:
1 (8oz) cream cheese (I used neufatchel cream cheese), softened  1 tsp vanilla
1/2 C white chocolate chips, melted
2 C powdered sugar
Toppings:
3/4 C dried cranberries, coarsely chopped
1/4 C white chocolate chips, melted
Instructions:
Dough: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray rimmed cookie sheet with cooking spray. Set aside. In a large mixing bowl combine butter and neufatchel. Add sugar and mix until light and fluffy (3 minutes). Add 1 egg at a time; mixing well. Add vanilla; mix in. In a medium mixing bowl sift together flour, baking soda, salt. Add dry ingredients to wet 1 C at a time; mixing just until incorporated. Hand stir in 3/4 C white chocolate chips and cranberries.
Evenly press dough into cookie sheet. Bake 13-15 minutes or until lightly browned. Set on rack to cool completely.
Frosting: In a medium mixing bowl whip cream cheese until smooth. Add vanilla; mix. In a small microwave bowl melt chocolate chips for 20 seconds, stir, microwave 15 seconds, stir well. Add 1 C powdered sugar; mix. Drizzle in melted chocolate, mix well. Add remaining powdered sugar; mix until incorporated. Spread over cooled cookie sheet, evenly sprinkle cranberries. Melt remaining chocolate chips as directed above. Drizzle with a fork over cranberries. Let chocolate cool and Serve!
*if you want a more buttery tasting bar replace the 8 oz neufatchel cream cheese with 1/2 C butter! I like to make my recipes as skinny as possible while keeping amazing flavor but I think it would taste exactly like Starbucks with the full butter (and full calories :).
