CRANBERRY BLISS BARS {STARBUCKS COPYCAT RECIPE}

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 15x10 or 13x9 inch jelly roll pan or rimmed cookie sheet with parchment paper. *see notes
• Beat together melted butter and brown sugar over medium speed with an electric mixer. Add in eggs, 1 tsp orange extract, and 1 tsp vanilla extract and beat until mixed well. Add in ground ginger, baking powder, salt, and flour, beating until just blended. Don't overmix.
• Stir in white chocolate chips and Craisins by hand. Spread evenly into the bottom of prepared pan. Bake in preheated oven for 18-22 minutes until set and golden brown at the edges. Don't overbake or bars will be hard. Remove from oven and place pan on a wire rack to cool. Allow bars to cool completely before topping with frosting.
• To make the frosting, beat cream cheese and powdered sugar together with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy. Add 1/2 tsp orange extract and 1/2 tsp vanilla extract and mix well. Top cooled bars with frosting. Sprinkle with chopped Craisins and drizzle white chocolate over the top with a fork. I dip my fork into the chocolate then shake it gently over the top of the bars to create little streaks. You can either slice right away and enjoy, or place the bars in the refrigerator for about an hour (what I like to do) to help them set up before cutting. Cut into triangles and enjoy!

STARBUCKS POWER/ENERGY BAR

Steps:

• Combine the first 6 ingredients in a large pot. Stir frequently while mixture melts over a medium heat setting. When everything appears well blended and creamy, turn off heat. Add vanilla and stir well.
• Add remaining ingredients. Stir, with a large wooden spoon, until all the add-ins are coated with the peanut butter mixture.
• Transfer mixture onto a large jelly roll pan. (I sometimes spray pan with Pam or line with parchment paper.) Spread evenly and cool before cutting. (I sometimes run a rolling pin over the surface to ensure a uniform thickness.).
• * Pea Butter may be substituted for peanut butter, in the case of a peanut allergy.
• ** Honey may be substituted for corn syrup.
