Valentine Treats: Cranberry Bliss Bars

Happy Valentine's Day!  This was delicious!  Anything with cream cheese, white chocolate, and craisins is good in my book.

Blondie Layer:
3/4 C salted butter, melted
1 1/2 C brown sugar
2 eggs
3/4 tsp vanilla extract
2 1/4 C flour
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1/8 tsp cinnamon
1/2 C dried cranberries
6 oz white chocolate chips

Combine butter and brown sugar.  Beat in eggs and vanilla.  In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.  Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter mixture.  Stir in dried cranberries and chocolate chips.

Spread in a greased 9x13 pan.  Bake at 350 for 18-20 minutes.  Cool completely before frosting.

Frosting:

1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
1 cup powdered sugar

 6 ounces white baking chocolate, divided
1/2 cup dried cranberries

Beat the cream cheese and powdered sugar until combined. Melt 3 oz. of the white chocolate.  Gradually add the melted white chocolate to the cream cheese mixture; beat until blended. 

Frost brownies. Sprinkle with chopped cranberries. Melt remaining 3 oz of white chocolate and drizzle over the bars. Let the frosting set. Store in the refrigerator.
