Crust is a bit too firm following the recipe exactly. Next time, I will decrease the flour to 1 cup + 2 tablespoons.

These are magical and perfect! There are several other recipes that claim to be just like Starbucks, but they are missing one key ingredient, the candied ginger!! I love these and make them every year. I like to add a little lemon to the frosting. Optional, but good.

This is better than Starbucks. The only thing I would change about it is to put in less sugar. It's too sweet (for me).

These are always a huge hit when I make them at Christmas time. I use minced ginger instead of ground ginger and I add a splash of pure orange extract or orange zest to the cream cheese icing.

I made these the last 2 years in a row. Everybody loves them. I like to go to Starbucks now just to see how much money I'm saving. Last year, they were charging over $3.00 a bar. These are just as good in my opinion.

Just finished making these bars and the crust is really hard and cookie consistency. I followed the recipe. I have had the bars from Starbucks and they are better. Frosting is good. Don't know why the crust is so hard. Can anyone tell me what happened?

"Indulging" in butter only makes good sense, it's real food. Unlike margarine, which is supposedly one molecule different than plastic.(Not good for health)!!

For this recipe i like to add fresh cranberries chopped up instead of dried, and i add about a teaspoon of lemon zest to the mix. for the frosting i do 4 oz warmed cream cheese 1/4 cup sugar and i add a teaspoon of lemon juice. very tasty!

I know this may seem like a silly question but I am not much of a cook so I really don't know the answer to this... is candied ginger the same as crystallized ginger. I saw it in the store and it looked like bricks of brown sugar... can that be used in this recipe?

They taste very good, but they aren't quite the same as Starbucks bliss bars. Can't quite figure out the difference. I think Starbucks cake is thinner, the frosting is thicker and is more cream cheesy...

Hmm, this is a good base, but I do know the starbucks ones have orange in them. Orange extract in the cooki-esque base, and in the frosting.

I've been looking at the bars at Starbuck's for a while. Made them pretty much as directed (yes on the butter). The flavor of the candied ginger was awesome, but they seem a bit thick and too sweet due to thick layer of frosting. I think as other reviewers have indicated, a larger pan would be better and the addition of some orange to balance out the sweetness would be great (didn't add the melted white chocolate for this reason as well).

I used orange laced craisins (doubled the amount recipe called for)and orange extract rather than vanilla. I added chopped walnuts to the frosting as well and used butter versus margerine, and a slightly larger pan. Cooking time was 30 minutes. After baking I put them in fridge over night. The texture was not exactly like starbucks-but very close-& not at all cake like (maybe sitting in the fridge helped with that-not sure). I melted the white chocolate in a sealed plastic sandwich bag in the microwave-cut one corner of the bag off and squeezed over the bars-very easy and no mess to clean up. I highly recommend this recipe!!

By virgogram (Team Breakfast Member)Hi I was signed up for this website a couple of years ago and thought it was discontinued and today I was looking for a cranberry recipe and this site popped up again but when I tried to sign up for it, it said it was under construction again and should be ready by September and would not let me register. I am wondering if it will possible to get back on the mailing list again.

Before adding to recipe, bring 1 cup water to boil, add dried cranberries, simmer about 2-5 minutes, then drain. This is just a suggestion if you prefer softer and plumper berries. (I do this for muffin recipies too, and also with raisins) Just dont simmer more than a couple minutes.

Most definitely use butter... do you know what's in margarine? For the frosting, I suggest using 8 oz cream chs. at room temp, 1 c. powdered sugar, 1/2 c butter, 1 T + orange zest and 2 tsp. vanilla. Also, I use 2 T orange zest & 1/3c dried cranberries chopped sprinkled on top. About 6 oz melted white choc. such as Callebaut drizzled on top.
For Garnish: 2 Tablespoons minced dried cranberries, 1/3 cup white chocolate chips (e.g. Ghiradelli or Guittard)

There is a crucial flavor missing from this recipe. The orange! I put a little zest in the cake itself and I grate some zest into the frosting. It makes a WORLD of difference.

I live 8 thousand feet above sea level. I cut back the butter to just 1 stk, and added a tbl. of sour cream. The sure fire way to ensure high altitude success is to make the cake into cupcakes. Works like a charm.

Dear Bliss Bar Fans - Re candied ginger? If you read the ingredient list on the Starbuck's box, it lists the ginger as an ingredient, but it must be a very negligible quantity because it's listed toward the end. I include it because I just happen to like ginger. From Gerry

Could somebody tell me how thick the cake part was when it was in the pan? I know the Starbucks bliss bar is quite thin (maybe an inch tops). How did it compare in thickness with the size of pan you used?

My daughter followed your recipe exactly. We all tried these bars, and loved them. Somehow, there were some left the next day, so we decided to do a side by side comparison. The "real" bars had a greasy feel to the frosting. The copy version frosting was much lighter and felt cleaner in the mouth. This is a great recipe, and we won't be buying the "real thing" any more. Thanks!

Just finished making this recipe for a holiday party. I took some of the advice offered in other comments and used parchment paper on a jelly roll pan and spread the batter fairly thin which necessitates watching the baking time very closely. I also added some orange zest to the frosting and was liberal with the dried cranberries in both the batter and on the top of the frosting. I skipped the candied ginger all together. They turned out absolutely excellent! Thanks Mr. Breakfast!

I made these today... WOW are they good! They do have a different texture than Starbucks but still very yummy. I added 1 tsp orange rind to the batter, and 1 tsp to the frosting as well, increased the cranberries to 1/2 cup and omitted the white chocolate on top because it was so sweet anyway without it. I would definitely make again! Thanks for the recipe :)

These are quite different from the real Starbucks bars but very delicious in their own right. The namesakes are more of a shortbread with thicker, more dense icing and without ginger. These, however, make a perfect cake or bar that was very much enjoyed chez moi!

I have made several times and yes, it does take longer than 20 minutes to bake the cake, and the hint on orange is a great suggestion. Labor intensive but worth the effort, people love them. I also use more like a half a cup of minced cranberry in both the cake and on the top. Cari

We made these on a cookie sheet (spread on parchment paper) rather than in a 9 x 13, and it makes a bit crunchier bar, which is nice. We also put chopped candied ginger on top.

Comment submitted: 11/28/2006 (#833)
By Beebop (Team Breakfast Member)I just made these bars a few minutes ago and even as I poured the batter into the 9x13 pan I could tell that the batter was going to be much thicker than Starbucks Bars. I buy a box or two of these bars every year at Thanksgiving and Christmas. They are not done yet, as they are much thicker and cakelike. I almost poured the batter out and put in a 10x15 jelly roll pan; which I think would be perfect. Personally, I am already disappointed, as I was looking forward to having Cranberry Bliss Bars, not a cranberry cake.

I was able to find candied ginger both on the spice rack (at $8.99) and in a tub (for $1.99) for the same amount of ginger. I purchased both and they seem to be exactly the same to my tastbuds. I used the ones in the tub for the bars. Cooking time needed to be a bit longer (approx 30 minutes) but then the bars were more cake-like than I remembered from Starbucks, so I thought I had overcooked by 5 minutes. However, after sitting in the refrigerator overnight, they were perfect!
Melting the white chocolate and putting in a pastry bag didn't work so well, so I used a spoon to sprinkle it on by quickly jiggling my hand over the pan and the amount distributed was perfect. I used Ghiradelli white chocolate bar for both the cake and the icing. It melted well over a double-boiler.
They are a new holiday favorite!

I've made this recipe several times now (tinkering with it each time) and got the best results yet using a Texas sheet cake pan lined with parchment paper (NO added oil or cooking spray necessary!) . Yes, its a REALLY thin layer of batter but it spreads out perfectly during baking. I baked it just until the top of the batter was dry in dead center of the pan. It came away from the parchment perfectly after cooling, and due to the size of the pan, I made 1 and 1/2 times the frosting recipe. Trimming off the edges with a really sharp knife before frosting them helps too... they are DIVINE! Thanks for posting this recipe. We love them!

Wow! I took these to a womens meeting and everyone loved them! I had tried these bars at the Great Big Food Show where Starbucks was giving samples. I had been thinking about them ever since but could never bring myself to pay the exorbitant prices that Starbucks charges! Now I can make my own! I didn't have any candied ginger, it was great without it, but I will try to have it on hand next time I make them. I also used only two eggs, as I thought I would prefer a less cake like texture. I cut the bars, refrigerated them & then added the white chocolate. Thanks so much for this recipe!

I think I know why the baking time seems off though. The Bliss Bar is thin. I bet... the time works out if you use a jellyroll pan instead of a 9X13".

Great recipe! However, I think that you may have omitted one ingredient. That would be a hint of orange (be it juice or rind). Maybe, you could add that to the frosting rather than the water. Yummy!!!!!

I made the cranberry bliss bars using candied orange peel instead of the candied ginger (could not find the candied ginger). I also used cinnamon and little bit of cardamon for spices, instead of the powdered ginger. I did have a little fresh ginger that I grated into the batter. The bars were very good! I used about 1/2 cup of dried cranberries instead of the 1/4 cups specified. The cooking time also had to be increased to at least 30 minutes.
