How to Make Cranberry Bliss Bars Almost Like Starbucks

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 10x15 inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and brown sugar substitute until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the almond flour, erythritol, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  6. Gently fold in the dried cranberries, chocolate chips, and grated ginger.
  7. Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan.
  8. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs.
  9. Let the bars cool completely in the pan.
  10. While the bars are cooling, prepare the frosting. In a medium bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese, powdered erythritol, butter, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
  11. Stir in the orange juice and orange zest.
  12. Fold in the chopped dried cranberries.
  13. Once the bars are completely cool, frost them evenly with the cream cheese frosting.
