Preheat the oven to 170°C (150°C fan / 325°F / Gas 3) and line a 20 x 30cm brownie tin with baking paper. In a small pan over low heat, gently melt the dark chocolate and butter together, then set aside to cool slightly.
200 g Butter, 200 g Dark Chocolate
In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs until pale and frothy. Gradually add the sugar and continue whisking until fully combined and smooth.
3 Eggs, 250 g Light Brown Sugar
Pour the cooled chocolate and butter mixture into the egg and sugar mixture, stirring until fully incorporated. Gently fold in the cocoa powder and self-raising flour until just combined, taking care not to overmix.
30 g Cocoa Powder, 100 g Self Raising Flour
Finally, fold in the white chocolate chips and dried cranberries. Pour the mixture into the prepared tin and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is set but the centre still has a slight wobble. Allow to cool completely before slicing into squares.
100 g White Chocolate Chips, 100 g Dried Cranberries
Notes
These brownies are best served at room temperature but can also be enjoyed warm with clotted cream, ice cream, or hot fudge sauce.
Make ahead and freeze for up to three months. Allow the brownies to cool completely before slicing and storing in a freezer-safe container.
Get creative with mix-ins like walnuts, chocolate orange, or a few tablespoons of mincemeat for a festive twist.
