I am sure many of you are like me. Winter rolls around and you find yourself lining up for that special red cup, filled with your favourite holiday beverage from Starbucks. The line up skills your learned at age 5 come in handy as you patiently wait for your turn to order from that oh so, friendly Barista. As you approach the front of the counter, you glance through the bubble display, incasing more of Starbucks Seasonal Goodies. Then it happens... you see them, in all of their delicious glory. Starbucks Cranberry Bliss Bars are back and you must have one!
I am so excited to share with you this awesome Cranberry Bliss Bar Recipe that is not only easy to make, but will save you money. If that isn't awesome enough, you can enjoy these delicious bad boys any time of the year.
Like with anything else I do, this recipe is super easy to make and hard to screw up. They taste so similar to the bliss bars at Starbucks and they are SOOOOOO yummy! I think the orange extract is the special ingredient that Starbucks would have preferred we never discovered!
