Cranberry Bliss Bars (Easy Version)

• 1/2 cup butter, melted, then cooled a bit
• 1 1/4 cups brown sugar, packed
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 1 3/4 cups flour
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup white chocolate chips
• 1/2 cup orange-flavored craisins
• FROSTING
• 1 (12 ounce) can ready-made cream cheese frosting
• 1/4 cup orange-flavored craisins
• 1/4 cup white chocolate chips

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Prepare a 9x13 pan by lining it with parchment paper for easy removal (or spray with non-stick spray).
2. Melt butter; cool slightly. In a mixer bowl, blend butter and brown sugar until smooth. Add all other ingredients except chips and Craisins. Once the mixture is just about blended, add 1/2 cup chips and 1/2 cup Craisins.
3. Spread the thick batter into a 9x13 pan. Bake 350 degrees for 23-25 minutes or until a toothpick tests clean. Do not overbake.
4. Allow to cool thoroughly.
5. When cool, frost with ready-made Cream Cheese frosting. Chop remaining 1/4 cup Craisins into small bits and scatter the bits over the top of the frosting.
6. Melt remaining 1/4 cup white chocolate chips in the microwave (hint: add 1/2 t. canola oil to create a thin drizzle); use a fork to drizzle the melted chocolate on top. Cut into 18 squares.
