Truth be told, I’ve never tried the original version found at Starbucks (I’m cheap, I don’t stop into Starbucks very often). I figured they would be great all throughout the holiday season. Spread the frosting over the brownies and top with cranberries and melted white chocolate. And their Cranberry Bliss Bars are the best part about winter (because I couldn’t care less about the red cup, obviously food is my game).
