Cranberry Bliss Bars
Your favorite holiday coffee shop treat but better ☃️🎉 These indulgent bars start with a soft blondie filled with cranberries and white chocolate chips and a burst of flavor from our Natural Orange Artisan and Orange Zest Extract, THEN we top them off with a tangy cream cheese frosting flavored with a dash of our Orange Zest Extract.... and the final touch, a sprinkle of cranberries and drizzle of white chocolate.
