Cranberry Cinnamon Swirl Cobbler Bars recipe created in partnership with Krusteaz.
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 for Krusteaz this year, 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.
Cranberry Cinnamon Swirl Cobbler Bars
The magic begins with a package of Krusteaz Cinnamon Swirl Crumb Cake Mix inside of which is both a cake mix pouch and a topping pouch. 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 the aroma of warm cinnamon 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.
Enjoy!
