Cranberry Bliss Bars-Starbuck’s Copycat

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Prepare a 10x15 by lining it with aluminum foil with 2 inches extending over each end. Spray with non-stick spray.
• MAKE BARS: With an electric mixer, beat together softened butter and sugars 3-5 minutes until light;  blend in eggs and vanilla extract until just combined. Add the flour, baking powder, and ginger and beat briefly. Add the cranberries and chopped white chocolate, stirring just until incorporated.
• Spread thick batter in prepared 10x15 pan. Bake 350 for 20-24 minutes until light brown at edges and a toothpick inserted into center comes out clean. Don't overbake or your bars will be dry. Let it cool completely.
• MAKE FROSTING: Blend cream cheese and butter until fluffy. Add vanilla extract and powdered sugar and beat until frosting is fluffy and spreadable (adding 1 t. milk if needed). Spread evenly over COOLED bars.
• PREPARE 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.

MAKE DRIZZLE:

• Pour white chocolate in a bowl set over simmering water. When chocolate is melted, add Crisco and stir until completely combined. If chocolate isn't thin enough add more Crisco, a teaspoon at a time until you reach desired consistency. 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. Use a fork or whisk to drizzle the white chocolate diagonally across the bars.
• *Note-My family loves things Super Sweet and they're crazy for the drizzle. I think many people might prefer these already sweet bars with half the amount of drizzle !
