Instructions

Step 1: Make the Bars

1. In a mixing bowl, combine melted butter and brown sugar until smooth.
2. Add eggs, orange extract, vanilla extract, baking powder, and salt. Mix until combined.
3. Gradually add flour, spooning it into the measuring cup for accuracy. Mix until a soft dough forms.
4. Fold in white chocolate chips and dried cranberries.

Step 2: Prepare for Baking

1. Line two square baking dishes with parchment paper.
2. Split the dough evenly between the pans.
3. Preheat the Blackstone Indoor Electric Pizza Oven to 350°F on the “Bake” setting.
4. Bake one pan at a time for about 18 minutes, or until set. Let cool completely (refrigerating will speed this up).

Step 3: Make the Icing

In a bowl, beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, orange extract, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.

Step 4: Assemble

1. Spread the icing evenly over the cooled bars.
2. Sprinkle with additional dried cranberries.
3. Drizzle with melted almond bark.

Step 5: Chill & Slice

1. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour (overnight is best for clean cuts).
2. Slice into triangles for the classic Starbucks-style presentation.
