"Starbuck's clone. Someone had posted a recipe for this on the Digs back in 2005- I don't recall who. I had played around with it and made it low carb, then later adapted the low carb version to a regular one for people who didn't do the low carb ingredients. I don't think this adaptation is still what they had posted. Both of the recipes are good- and I will post both."

Step by Step Method
Step 1
For bars:
Step 2
Preheat oven to 350°F Line a 10x15 jelly roll pan with parchment paper, trimming away any excess.
Step 3
Cream butter and brown sugar in electric mixer until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, allowing each to incorporate.
Step 4
Add dry ingredients in small amounts, allowing time to blend and not forgetting to scrape down the mixer bowl.
Step 5
Turn off mixer, remove paddle, and fold in cranberries, chocolate, and ginger peel.
Step 6
Spread batter over parchment on pan and bake for about 30 minutes or until bars are not puffy and slightly firm to the touch. Allow to cool.
Step 7
For topping:
Step 8
In another electric mixer, blend softened cream cheese with powdered sugar, butter, vanilla, orange juice and orange zest, making sure you scrape down the mixer bowl and blend. Turn off mixer, remove paddle, and fold in dried cranberries.
Step 9
When bars are cool, spread frosting evenly on top and sprinkle with chocolate shavings (scrape a bar on the side with a large knife to get these- doesn't matter if it crumbles instead of curling).
Step 10
Cut bars into fourths along the length, and into 3 parts along the width, then cut each square into a triangle.
Step 11
Store bars in the refrigerator.
