White Chocolate & Cranberry Blondies

3/4 c Unsalted Butter, Melted
1 1/4 c Brown Sugar
1 tsp Vanilla Extract
1 Egg
1 1/2 c Flour
2 Tbsp Orange Juice
1/2 c Chopped Dried Cranberries
1 c White Chocolate Chips
4 oz Cream Cheese, Softened
2 Tbsp Powdered Sugar
1 Tbsp Orange Zest

Pre-heat oven to 325 degrees.  Grease a 8" x 10" baking dish.

In a small bowl combine the chopped dried cranberries with the orange juice.  Set aside.

In a large mixing bowl whisk the brown sugar and melted butter together.  Add the vanilla and egg and stir to combine.  Stir in the flour.  Add the cranberries, orange juice and white chocolate chips and stir to combine.

Pour the batter into the baking dish and smooth out the top.  Bake blondies for 40 - 50 minutes, or until a wooden toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.  Leave the blondies in the pan to cool completely.

In a medium bowl beat on low the cream cheese with your hand mixer.  Slowly add the powdered sugar and orange zest.  Beat until smooth.

Remove the blondies from the baking dish.  Top the blondies with the cream cheese.  Cut into bit size squares and serve.  Any leftover blondies should be stored in the refrigerator. 

Makes approx. 20 bite size squares
