Indulge in the perfect holiday fusion of tart cranberries and comforting cinnamon with these Cranberry Cinnamon Swirl Cobbler Bars, a delightful creation made in partnership with Krusteaz. This treat perfectly captures the essence of holiday joy, from its fresh-from-the-oven aroma to the irresistible urge to savor each bar.

Cranberry Cinnamon Swirl Cobbler Bars

The holidays wouldn’t be the holidays if it weren’t for cranberries, and I adore the brightly colored and delightfully tart berries. They’re surprisingly versatile, and I use them every chance I get.

So as I was thinking up holiday recipe ideas, visions of cranberries danced in my head and I knew I had to incorporate them into a baked treat.

Et voilà. Cranberry Cinnamon Swirl Cobbler Bars.

How to Make Cranberry Cinnamon Swirl Cobbler Bars

The magic begins with a package of Krusteaz Cinnamon Swirl Crumb Cake Mix with a cake mix pouch and a topping pouch inside. I used the cake mix to make a bottom crust and a cobbler topping, and I used the topping mix to make a delicious cranberry filling.

Fresh from the oven, the cranberries will be bubbling, and a warm cinnamon aroma will fill the air. Fair warning: the temptation to put a fork, spoon, knife, or YOUR ENTIRE FACE into the dessert pan will be nearly impossible to resist.

And quite honestly, this would be absolutely delicious served warm in cobbler-y chunks with ice cream.

But if you let it cool completely, you can cut it into bars, and omg, they are soooooo good! You might even cry of happiness.

Ingredients
  

  • 1 pkg Krusteaz Cinnamon Swirl Crumb Cake and Muffin Mix cake mix and topping pouches used separately
  • ½ cup butter softened
  • 1 large egg
  • 3 cups fresh cranberries can substitute frozen, if desired
  • ½ cup sugar
  • 2 teaspoons orange juice
  • ½ tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla

Instructions
 

  • Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly grease 8×11-inch (or similar size oblong) baking dish.
  • In mixing bowl, thoroughly mix crumb cake mix (not cinnamon topping,) butter and egg until fully incorporated and dough forms. (Dough will be sticky.) Divide dough in half, and press one half evenly into bottom of greased baking dish.
  • In separate large bowl, combine cranberries, cinnamon topping pouch, sugar, orange juice, cornstarch and vanilla. Stir until all ingredients are incorporated. Spread over dough in baking dish.
  • Using remaining half of dough, break apart into sections, flatten and lay on top of cranberry filling-cobbler-style. There will be a few areas where the cranberries peek through.
  • Bake 35 minutes or until top crust is set and turning golden brown. Cool completely and cut into bars.
  • Top with whipped cream or ice cream, if desired.
