???? Let’s Bake these Cranberry Bliss Bars!

1️⃣ Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking pan and line it with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal later.

2️⃣ Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

3️⃣ Combine Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter and brown sugar until well combined. Add the eggs one at a time, whisking well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

4️⃣ Incorporate the Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Gently fold in the chopped cranberries and white chocolate chips.

5️⃣ Bake the Bars: Transfer the batter to the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.

6️⃣ Prepare the Cream Cheese Frosting: While the bars are cooling, prepare the cream cheese frosting. In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Gradually add the powdered sugar and orange zest, and continue beating until well combined and fluffy.

7️⃣ Frost and Decorate: Once the bars have cooled completely, spread the cream cheese frosting evenly over the top. Drizzle melted white chocolate over the frosting and sprinkle with dried cranberries.
