One of my favorite holiday treats from Starbucks is the Cranberry Bliss Bar. This past weekend, Renee and I took some time to bake goodies for our coworkers. One of the goodies that we made were Cranberry Bliss Bars.
These bars were delicious! The texture looked a bit cake like but the taste was definitely the same.
