This was absolutely wonderful! I decided late last night that I had the undyind dresire to make something so I decided to make something sweet. I like how the instructions were easy to follow and they helped out a lot with how things needed to be. I had a little trouble with the drizzle on top but I made it work. I brought the left over bars to work and everyone loved them. I will diffenelty be making this again!

Absolutely fabulous bars - a wonderful change from chocolate everything and so very festive for the holidays. I followed the simple recipe very easily. The only thing that I did was to add more orange zest than called for and to double the cranberry toppings and white chocolate glaze. I did contemplate adding a dark chocolate to this in the glazing part of the recipe. Most likely I'll still experiment with that, but I'm thinking that it would be a nice addition. I'll let you know! Update! I did try the dark chocolate, substituting it for the white chocolate in the topping. It was a beautiful contrast to the white frosting and red cranberries - very pretty. And I gave the recipe to about 5 friends because they loved it so much. Thanks Cookin'Diva

I had a food party on Friday night and made these. They went over sooooo well. I had so many compliments for them. In fact I gave my SIL my printed copy of this recipe. They taste just like the one's at my local Starbucks!! I thought it would be alot harder to make but, it really wasn't at all. I used a 13x9 pan and cut them into small triangles like you would find them at Starbucks, I frosted each triangle individualy for the sake of keeping them nice looking great. Great recipe!! Definately a favorite of mine.

-Delish..... made these 3 or 4 times. I bake them in a 12 X 18 X 1 cookie pan and only bake them about 20-23 minutes.This makes them thinner & more like starbucks. Easy to to follow recipe. Thanks for the great recipe.

Try this if you really like the orange flavor. I used the craisins that come flavored with orange and my friends raved about the flavor. I took these to the staff holiday party the other night and had people fighting over the tray. Make lots if you want to keep the peace!

Used 9 x 13 tin at 350. Looked at bars after 19 minutes, and they were overdone. Frosting was too sweet - used only 2-1/2 cups of icing sugar and 4 oz. cream cheese. Did not like the orange taste at all. Not similar to the Starbucks Cranberry Bliss Bars

I've never had the Starbucks version, but these were outstanding and everyone liked them! They were easy to make. I followed the recipe exactly and would definitely make them again!

The instructions are easy to follow and they turn out just like Starbucks. The orange flavor comes through nicely, but I'm hooked because of the wonderful white chocolate morsels - yummmy!

This tasted like cranberry cake with cream cheese frosting to me. The bars were pretty. I served it at a holiday party and about half of them were eaten. The recipe is worth trying once.
