My mouth is actually watering at these. Oh my goodness! Fudgy brownies are definitely already a favorite, but you took it a step farther and added tangy cranberry to balance it. I love it!

I love cooking with cranberries but hate that I only seem to cook with them around Thanksgiving. These brownies look so festive and perfect for using up the cranberries I have in my fridge.
