Last year, just prior to Christmas, one of the Ladies at the office brought in a Cranberry Bliss bar that she’d purchased from Starbucks. OMG it was good!!! I was instantly addicted… and so you could imagine my dismay when I found out Starbucks only brought them in for the holiday season.
I waited all year for another Cranberry Bliss bar… and as soon as they were available, I brought a package home so my husband could see what I’d been raving about for an entire year. It didn’t last long…
Then came the invite to my sister-in-law’s for Christmas Dinner and the big question about what to bring for dessert. My husband’s vote was for the Cranberry Bliss bar, and I must admit for a moment I was sorely tempted. Any excuse for another one of those bars…
But then reality set in. There was no way I could justify not bringing something homemade for Christmas dinner. We were now country folk, and a store-bought dessert just didn’t fit with my idea of country hospitality.
So, I googled Cranberry Bliss Bar recipe and hit pay dirt. The recipe I chose was absolutely amazing, even better than the Starbucks’ original. And when I brought them out after Christmas dinner, they disappeared in a flash.
YES!!! I’d done it again, firmly solidifying my reputation as the family’s Master Dessert Baker Extraordinaire.
