If you have ever been to Starbucks in the fall or winter I am sure you have at seen these spectacular treats, if not devoured one or twenty.
Cranberry Bliss Bars are perfectly named they are pure dessert bliss packed into a little bar.
Munchkin and I had so much fun making these bars. She was officially promoted to chief egg cracker when she was 3-years-old.
Over that summer we ate a lot of scrambled eggs and omelets so I would plop a dozen eggs on the counter and let her practice.
Well, I have to tell you after a few dozen, she cracks eggs better than any kid I have ever met and even better than some adults. I still have to teach her a one-handed technique and of course, egg juggling is next. {{{not a chance}}}
Munchkin was not about waiting for these beauties to cool off or waiting at all. Watching her bite into our creation after helping me develop this fabulous copycat recipe was amazing.
