Mix the flour, baking powder and salt before mixing into the wet ingredients followed by the white chocolate chips and dried cranberries.

Step 3

Pour the batter into a greased (or parchment paper or foil lined) 8×13 inch baking pan and bake in a preheated 350F/180C oven until a toothpick pushed in the centre comes out clean, about 20 minutes, before setting aside to cool.

Step 4

Mix the cream cheese, powdered sugar and orange juice.

Step 5

Melt the white chocolate in a microwave or over a double boiler and mix half of it into the cream cheese frosting.

Step 6

Spread the cream cheese frosting over the bars, sprinkle on the cranberries and place the remaining melted white chocolate in a small ziplock bag, make a small cut in the corner and squeeze the chocolate over the bars in desired pattern.

Let cool, slice and enjoy!
