Copycat Starbucks Cranberry Bliss Bars

As I re-write this recipe, this time with Starbucks having discontinued selling the original Cranberry Bliss bars, I am twice as happy to share this recipe. A true holiday favorite, these bars are one of the most delicious treats the famous coffee company used to carry. Each year when holidays come around and I make a batch of these wonderful Cranberry Bliss Bars I am thankful that my friend Olya shared this recipe with me.
