Experiment! Feel free to make your own flavor modifications! I personally think these would be lovely with some toasted walnuts or pecans.Make the base layer and freeze it! Pull it out when you want to gift it or enjoy it and then make the topping.No different than a cake really, so don’t be so impatient! Giver yourself a bit of time with these! You’ll need to bake the bars first then allow them to cool before icing.Tips and Other Ideas for my Copycat Cranberry Bliss Bars Orange If you’re game, I highly recommend adding a bit of chopped sugared orange peel to these.That means you get a bit of tart/sweet goodness in every bite! Dried cranberries The star of the show! I found that chopping them up helps disperse them throughout the bar.Ginger DYK there’s a bit of ground ginger in the SB version? There is! So of course, you’ll need to add that too!.My advice? Don’t buy anything but real cream cheese. Cream cheese I use it in the cookie part and the topping.So I did the reconnaissance and I think I came up with an even better version! Ingredient Stuff So after that most recent Star Dollars CBB experience I knew I owed it to myself to try it. BUT, I also love a good challenge – especially a baking challenge. Listen, I love when I can have stuff just made for me and all I have to do is enjoy it. Chewy, sweet and perfect with coffee! But a recent visit left me thinking, “couldn’t I just make these myself?” The answer was yes, of course! However, there is one item that I usually splurge on and that’s their Cranberry Bliss Bars. It’s an expensive habit, but I’ve pared it down over the years. And there just happens to be a Starbucks very close to where I live.
