Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup brown sugar Packed
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup dried cranberries
  • 1/2 cup white chocolate chips
Frosting
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Extra white chocolate chips and cranberries for topping

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x9-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the melted butter and brown sugar. Mix well, and then add the eggs and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
  3. In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add this mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined.
  4. Gently fold in the dried cranberries and white chocolate chips.
Baking
  1. Pour the batter into the prepared pan, smoothing the top with a spatula. Bake for about 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  2. Once baked, allow the bars to cool completely in the pan.
Frosting
  1. While cooling, prepare your cream cheese frosting by mixing cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  2. Spread the frosting evenly over the cooled bars. Top with extra white chocolate chips and cranberries for that extra-special touch!
Serving
  1. Cut into squares and enjoy your homemade Cranberry Bliss Bars!
