Yield 16 bars

Number Of Ingredients 20

Cake
1 cup (2 sticks) butter, softened
1 1/4 cups light brown sugar, packed
3 eggs
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
1 teaspoon ginger
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup diced dried cranberries
6 ounces white chocolate, cut into chunks
Frosting
4-ounces cream cheese, softened
3 cups powdered sugar
4 teaspoons lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup diced dried cranberries
Drizzled Icing
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1 tablespoon milk
2 teaspoons vegetable shortening

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350°F. 2. Make cake by beating butter and brown sugar together with an electric mixer until smooth. Add eggs, vanilla, ginger, and salt and beat well. Gradually mix in flour until smooth. Mix 3/4 cup diced dried cranberries and white chocolate into the batter by hand. Pour batter into a well-greased 9x13" baking pan. Use a spatula to spread the batter evenly across the pan. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes or until cake is light brown on the edges. Allow cake to cool. 3. Make frosting by combining softened cream cheese, 3 cups powdered sugar, lemon juice and vanilla extract in a medium bowl with an electric mixer until smooth. When the cake has cooled, use a spatula to spread frosting over the top of the cake. 4. Sprinkle 1/4 cup of diced cranberries over the frosting on the cake. 5. Whisk together 1/2 cup powdered sugar, 1 tablespoon milk, and shortening. Drizzle icing over the cranberries in a sweeping motion or use a pastry bag with a fine tip to drizzle frosting across the top of the cake. 6. Allow cake to sit for several hours, then slice the cake lengthwise (the long way) through the middle. Slice the cake across the width three times making a total of eight rectangular slices. Slice each of those rectangles diagonally creating 16 triangular slices.

I had trouble finding fresh cranberries, so I used canned cranberries instead. The bars still came out great.

These bars were a bit too sweet for my taste, but I'm sure others will enjoy them.

These bars are so easy to make, I've made them with my kids several times. They love helping me in the kitchen, and they really enjoy eating the bars.

I've made these bars several times, and they're always a hit. I've even experimented with different fruit fillings, like blueberries and strawberries.

I'm not a big fan of white chocolate, so I used dark chocolate instead. The bars still came out great.

These bars are so rich and decadent, they almost feel like they're sinful.

I'm a vegetarian, so I was happy to see that these bars are made with cream cheese instead of butter.

These bars are the perfect blend of sweet and tangy. The white chocolate layer is so creamy and delicious, and the cranberry filling adds a nice pop of flavor.

I love that I can make these bars in advance. It's one less thing to worry about when I'm planning a party or event.

My only problem with these bars was that they disappeared too quickly! I'll definitely be making them again next time I'm hosting a party.

I'm not usually a big fan of cranberries, but these bars were amazing! The white chocolate layer was so rich and creamy, and the cranberry filling was the perfect balance of sweet and tart.

These cranberry bliss bars were a hit at my office! Everyone raved about the creamy white chocolate layer and the tangy cranberry filling. The buttery graham cracker-like cookie layer was the perfect finishing touch. I will definitely be making these
