Soft and Chewy Cranberry Bliss Bars

These Cranberry Bliss Bars are a little slice of heaven! White chocolate chips hidden in a blondie cookie bar with dried cranberries then the perfect cream cheese frosting overtop and finished off with sprinkled droplets of cranberries and a white chocolate drizzle for the best garnish is just the beginning!

Wait until you try these bars! Cranberry is all the rave this holiday season and this Cranberry Apple Crisp, Cranberry Cheesecake Fluff and Cranberry Orange Punch are the perfect addition to for any table!

Using Reynolds Wrap® has been so helpful and makes cleanup much easier with all your favorite meals. I have used Reynolds Wrap® all year long. It is my go-to when baking, cooking or grilling!

• Measure: It is so simple to pull out the Reynolds Wrap® from their box. The roll stays in place and holds well while trying to measure your pan. Pull out as long as the pan is and add a bit more to make sure the sides are covered.
• Cut: The Reynolds Wrap® box has the perforated jagged edges that are crisp and give the Non-Stick Aluminum Foil a nice clean cut. Hold down on the box itself and pull at the same time making a nice straight line.
• Cover the Pan: It is best to cover the entire inside of the baking pan to make sure that there is even baking and again, easy clean up at the end. Gently press in the sides and around the baking dish. The Reynolds Wrap® will cling to the edges and the sides smoothly.

Making Perfect Cranberry Bliss Bars with Reynolds Wrap®

The batter for these bliss bars are so Ooey, gooey and chewy goodness! You will love the deliciousness they bring around the holidays. The batter is shallow in the baking pan and with the help of Reynolds Wrap® Non-Stick Foil the wrap helps bake it evenly and to perfection! It does bake up quicker because of the foil. Because of this remove the cookie bars from the oven quickly and let cool. The bars will be soft and chewy!

The color of the cookie bar may look like a pale golden hue when they are done in the oven. The cookies will continue to bake in the Reynolds Wrap® Non-Stick Foil. These bliss cookie bars are meant to be undercooked. Once cooled you can begin to slice them and enjoy!

Variations and Substitutions of Cookie Bars

Cookie bars are so simple to make and come together quickly! Have some fun with these cranberry bars and add to the ingredients or switch things up as you make these each time. It is the perfect holiday dessert!

• Flour: I used Medal Gold Medal All Purpose flour and that seemed to be the best flour for raising and thickness in these cookie bars.
• Nuts: There are no nuts in the ingredients but add some in! A half cup will go a long way and will give that added sweet and savory crunchy texture everyone loves. I recommend walnuts or pecans but macadamia nuts will be a sweet addition too!
• Chips: Instead of white chocolate chips substitute with butterscotch and semi-sweet chocolate, consider peanut butter chips, white chocolate chips or milk chocolate chips for a fun variation!
• Drizzle: That drizzle over top with white chocolate is going to be the biggest hit! Add a drizzle of chocolate or caramel syrup to the top of the bars or substitute it with a colorful white chocolate for the holidays.
• Add-In: If you like the flavor of oranges add in 1 to 2 tablespoons of grated orange zest in to the frosting!

How to Slice Triangle Bars

Slicing these bliss bars are simple and can be done in so ways. Pick your shape that you are wanting to make: square, triangle or long rectangles. These are all easy to master and with the help of Reynolds Wrap® Aluminum Foil slicing is comes easy!

1. Let Cool: Make sure the bars are set up for about 30 to 45 minuets. Remember you want them Ooey, gooey and not to fall apart. It also makes the bars look prettier and easier to cut.
2. Lift: This is where Reynolds Wrap® comes in! Use the Aluminum foil hanging over the edges to lift out the bars. Now you have a “plate” to cut the bars on and your dish is semi-clean!
3. Slice: Begin slicing the bars into sections long ways. Then turn the foil and cut them again, this time horizontal. Now you will see they appear to be squares.
4. Triangle Bars: From corner to corner, slice in one straight line crosswise. This will create the triangle bars!

Storing Dessert Bars

Usually these dessert bars don’t last long. If you happen to have leftovers, giving them to a friend or making them ahead of time the possibilities are endless with this holiday treat!

• Storing: Leaving them out on the counter top in a cool dry place will keep them soft and chewy. They will last about 3 to 4 days in an airtight container.
• Refrigerate: It is best to store them in an airtight container without stacking them on top of each other. They will last longer in the refrigerator for about 5 days.
• Can I Freeze these Cranberry Bliss Bars? Yes, still prepare them and even cut them as listed in the recipe card. Refrigerate the bars for a few hours getting them chilled and cold. Place them in airtight bags or containers wrapped in Reynolds Wrap® Aluminum Foil  to store in the freezer. They are best stored in the freezer for 3 months. When ready to enjoy, thaw in the refrigerator overnight and they will be ready to enjoy by the morning!
