My family always loved getting these bars at Christmas time so to save us some money & a sugar rush, I made a healthier version & LET ME TELL YOU they taste just like the real thing, I might even like these better.

Out of all the holiday treats I made this year, these cranberry bliss bars were eaten the fastest & were everyone's favorite!

I think the secret ingredient to this recipe is the orange zest, it brings out so much flavor to the entire bar. I promise you these will be like potato chips, you won't be able to eat just one (and you won't have to).

  I used a 4 x6 pan but you can double the recipe and use something larger! The way I cut it was across, vertical, & diagonal to create the triangle shapes

  Instead of coconut oil you can use vegetable oil or butter!
