Description

Ingredients

• 1 cup (2 sticks) butter, melted
• 1½ cups packed brown sugar
• 2 eggs
• 1 tsp orange extract
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• ½ tsp ground ginger
• 1 tsp baking powder
• ½ tsp salt
• 2 cups all purpose flour
• 1 cup white chocolate chips
• ¾ cup Craisins
• 8 oz. cream cheese, softened
• 1½ cups powdered sugar
• ½ tsp orange extract
• ½ tsp vanilla extract
• ⅓ cup Craisins, roughly chopped
• 2 squares baking chocolate or almond bark, melted

Directions

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 15x10 inch jelly roll pan or rimmed cookie sheet with parchment paper.
• Beat together melted butter and brown sugar over medium speed with an electric mixer. Add in eggs, 1 tsp orange extract, and 1 tsp vanilla extract and beat until mixed well. Add in ground ginger, baking powder, salt, and flour, beating until just blended. Dont overmix.
• Stir in white chocolate chips and Craisins by hand. Spread evenly into the bottom of prepared pan. Bake in preheated oven for 18-22 minutes until set and golden brown at the edges. Dont overbake or bars will be hard. Remove from oven and place pan on a wire rack to cool. Allow bars to cool completely before topping with frosting.
• To make the frosting, beat cream cheese and powdered sugar together with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy. Add ½ tsp orange extract and ½ tsp vanilla extract and mix well. Top cooled bars with frosting. Sprinkle with chopped Craisins and drizzle white chocolate over the top with a fork. I dip my fork into the chocolate then shake it gently over the top of the bars to create little streaks. Cut into triangles and enjoy!
