WHITE CHOCOLATE CRANBERRY BLONDIE BARS
I created this recipe from scratch and was inspired by a bar I had a Starbucks. The one at Starbucks is lighter, similar to cake or a light brownie, this one has a cookie base. I chop the cranberries roughly if they are the larger dried ones. Posting here so my sisters can access it. Enjoy! **When melting the chips, I put them in a plastic bag and microwave for 30 seconds, squish them a bit, and then microwave again for 10 or so more seconds until fully melted (but be very careful not to overcook). Then snip a tiny piece of the corner to pipe in a small stream.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees.

- Frost the bars. Then sprinkle with the remaining 1/2 cup cranberries.
- Melt the remaining chips and pipe in a small stream over the top.

Friends sometimes ask me to make these for wedding receptions. For a fancier presentation, I cut the bars into triangle shapes and drizzle white chocolate over each one individually. -Erika Busz, Kent, Washington
