Can you believe July is almost over?! 😱 Before Can you believe July is almost over?! 😱
Before it slips away, I had to share one more dose of Christmas in July magic! ✨🎄
Every year, one of my favorite holiday traditions is turning my coffee bar into a cozy little hot cocoa bar, and it seriously brings all the festive feels.
There’s just something so magical about sipping hot cocoa by the glow of a Christmas tree, even if it’s 90 degrees outside! 😍☕️
Bring on the marshmallows and twinkle lights, cozy season is always welcome here.
Who says festive drinks are just for December?! 🎄✨
These pomegranate rosemary ice cubes are one of my favorite holiday hacks, and they’re too pretty not to use year-round.
They instantly turn sparkling water into a chic little mocktail, and they look absolutely magical as they melt! 😍
So of course I had to bring them out for Christmas in July!
You can swap in cranberries too, so many fun combos to try!

Time to make your drinks a little more merry & bright! Even in July!
Is it even late summer if you’re not already dre Is it even late summer if you’re not already dreaming of Starbucks fall drinks?! 🍁🍎
I don’t go often, but once those cozy fall flavors hit the menu, I’m there daily.
So while we all impatiently wait, I decided to make my own Apple Oatmilk Macchiato at home… and y’all, it tastes just like the real deal!
I dropped the full recipe on the blog so you can make it too:

One of my little tomatoes popped off the vine while I was fixing the trellis (rude). But listen, I’ve put way too much love into these raised beds to let anything go to waste. So I sliced it up, fried it Southern-style, and WOW… crispy, tangy, perfection.
Honestly? Might “accidentally” knock a few more off the vine just to make another batch 😏

Starbucks Cranberry Bliss Bars

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

Y’all already know I love me a good Starbucks copycat recipe! Like my copycat OG Pumpkin Scones I made last fall. But, I needed to figure out a copycat for Starbucks cranberry bliss bars recipe too!

And thankfully, I did! Let me tell you, these bars are amazing and even better than Starbucks. If I do say so myself!

They are chewy and creamy, with the perfect amount of sweetness and zest! They also serve quite a few people too so this would be a perfect holiday dessert to bring to a party!

Craisins on Top of Bars

What’s In The Cranberry Bliss Bar?

Below is everything you need to get started baking these delicious and festive bars!

FOR THE BARS:

  • 1 cup butter (2 sticks) melted
  • 1 1/2 cups brown sugar packed
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tsp orange extract
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp ground ginger
  • 1 tsp baking powder 
  • 1/2 tsp salt 
  • 2 cups all purpose flour 
  • 1 cup white chocolate chips
  • 3/4 cup craisins 

FOR THE FROSTING:

  • 8 oz cream cheese softened 
  • 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1/2 tsp orange extract
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/3 cup craisins chopped
  • 2 squares white baking chocolate 
  • 1 orange zested
Ingredients Needed for Cranberry Bars

Mixing Up The Dough For The Bars

To make these delicious Starbucks Cranberry Bliss Bars, the process is actually quite simple. You basically just throw everything into the mixer and then stir in the white chocolate chips and craisins by hand.

Mixing the Dough
Stiring in White Chocolate Chips and Craisins

I also sifted together the dry ingredients first before adding them into the butter and brown sugar mixture to ensure everything would be well incorporated.

Baking the Bars

The original recipe I found online when wanting to make these bars, called to bake them for just 18-22 minutes. However, it took me MUCH LONGER before my bars were completely done.

Before Baking Bars
Finished Baking Cranberry Bars

Granted, the other recipe called for a jelly roll pan, and I do not have one. So I just used my usual 9×13 baking dish and maybe that’s why it took a little longer.

Adding Cream Cheese Frosting

I am not entirely sure. However, I ended up baking mine around 35 minutes. So I would say depending on your oven, it should take anywhere from 30-40 minutes. I would just keep checking every couple of minutes or so for doneness.

Drizzling White Chocolate on Top

Making The Frosting

After your cranberry bliss bars are cooled, you can now make the frosting! Just beat together the cream cheese and powdered sugar and then add in the extracts. Simple and easy!

How to Cut Starbucks Cranberry Bliss Bars

Spread the frosting evenly across the bars. Then, top with chopped craisins and drizzle with the melted white baking chocolate.

I also made the addition of fresh orange zest to the recipe too and I am so glad I did! It gave it the perfect zest and tang to the sweetness of this dessert!

Do Starbucks Cranberry Bliss Bars Need to be Refrigerated?

One of the most pressing questions regarding this recipe is whether or not they need to be refrigerated after baking. The answer is yes. They will keep better in the refrigerator and especially since it has the cream cheese frosting on top.

Corner of Cranberry Bliss Bars

You want them to stay nice and cool, that way they stay fresher longer. They can last up to 5 days when stored in the fridge too!

Can Starbucks Cranberry Bliss Bars Be Frozen?

Another pressing question, and again the answer is yes! That’s one of the main reasons I love this recipe. It’s perfect for Thanksgiving or Christmas.

Finished Bars

But, it can be made ahead of time and stored in the freezer so you can plan ahead! Simply wrap the individual bars in plastic wrap first and then aluminum foil on top of that.

I also then place them in a freezer bag too. They can be stored in the freezer for up to 3 months as well!

Do Starbucks Cranberry Bliss Bars Need to be Refridgerated

When you are ready to use them again, just take them out of the freezer the night before. Then, place them in the fridge overnight to let them thaw fully before serving.

Have you ever made these yummy bars before?? If not, you should definitely try this recipe out. It’s so easy and I know everyone in your family would love it too!

    I stare at these bars every time I’m in Starbucks wondering what they would taste like so I really appreciate you sharing your recipe for them. I love treats that can be made and frozen ahead of time to save the last minute prep too! They look delicious! I’m going to try using a cookie sheet instead as I was taught in school that jelly rolls can be baked in one as well. ☺️

I don’t go often, but once those cozy fall flavors hit the menu, I’m there daily.

One of my little tomatoes popped off the vine while I was fixing the trellis (rude). But listen, I’ve put way too much love into these raised beds to let anything go to waste. So I sliced it up, fried it Southern-style, and WOW… crispy, tangy, perfection.
Honestly? Might “accidentally” knock a few more off the vine just to make another batch 😏

Call me unhinged, but I’m deep into Christmas in July and I’m not sorry about it. Twinkle lights, cozy vibes, hot cocoa (okay, iced cocoa) ☕️ I want it all.
If you’re craving a little festive magic in the middle of summer, you’re in the right place. Come obsess over Christmas decor and cozy inspo with me, the AC is blasting and the nostalgia is real. ❄️✨

Charleston had me in a chokehold (again), so naturally I said “why not?” to 24 more hours in my favorite city 💕 We hit all our fave spots, soaked in every last bit of charm, and it was so worth it. Now back to reality… and counting down to the next getaway (even if it’s a long wait 😅)
I hadn’t stepped foot in @belk in ages… but wh I hadn’t stepped foot in @belk in ages… but when @caconover & @sewingdownsouth dropped their collab, I ran! 🏃‍♀️
We were able to check out the cutest downtown Charleston Sewing Down South pop-up store and I instantly fell in love with this dress 😍 The print has all the iconic Charleston landmarks and it has pockets, say less!
Comfy, cute, and totally made for strolling these historic streets all day 🌸
