Gluten-free Cranberry Bliss Bars

December 18, 2013 · by Ari · 13 Comments

Rich, gooey blondies studded with white chocolate and cranberries topped with a white chocolate cream cheese frosting. Just like your favorite Starbucks treat, but with a lightened-up, gluten-free twist.

Gluten-free Cranberry Bliss Bars

One of my favorite holiday treats is the Starbucks cranberry bliss bar. I’ve made them every year for the last 3 years, so I guess you could say they’ve become one of our holiday traditions. Along with puppy chow. I’m pretty sure my family would be super upset if a year went by without either of these.

Gluten-free Cranberry Bliss Bars

This year I made a gluten-free version, and it turned out every bit as delicious as the original! Today I’m sharing the recipe over on Laura’s blog. Click over and check it out! Also, if you don’t already read Laura’s blog, she gives amazing running tips, and she is just a super positive, inspiring person all around.

    Just commented on Laura’s blog that I am sure yours are even better than Starbucks! I just sampled this last week there!

    I think that when a food blogger makes something more than 2 times it’s a clear winner! These bars sound delicious and look so pretty. 🙂

    Can I tell you that I was just in a Starbux the other day and they were sampling these bars, but didn’t have any for sale? Seriously not fair, but then I see this post! Hooray, plus GF? Thank you for bringing me bliss!

      Awww, glad I could help! I don’t know how they sample something they’re not selling?? Seems counter productive to me!
