Method

  1. Heat the oven to 180C/fan 160C/gas 4. Butter a non-stick baking tin (about 31 x 17 x 3.5cm) or line the base if you prefer. Break the chocolate into a saucepan, add the butter, sugar and juice or milk, then warm gently, stirring frequently until melted and evenly mixed. Allow to cool slightly, then beat in the eggs one at a time. Fold in the flour, cinnamon and cranberries.
  2. Spread half the mixture into the prepared tin, scatter over the nuts, then gently spread the rest of the mixture on top. Bake for 25-30 mins. Cut into squares while still warm. Will keep in an airtight container for up to a week.

    Made these for work and everyone loved them and wouldn't stop talking about them!! I don't do much baking, I prefer cooking, but these were really simple to make and seemed to go down very well!!

    I have to disagree, someone in our office made these and 3 of us had to spit them out into the bin. We certainly didn't stop talking about them in our work because of that! Maybe it was just a bad batch and if baked well, they may be well tasty!

    I think Rose must have had a bad batch. I've made these for friends and family and everyone loves them. I've also made them with walnuts when I couldn't get pistachios and they were very good. They freeze very well so great to have in store for when the kids (and all their pals) come home from university. Just defrost in the microwave for warm gooey chocolate heaven.

    I have made these numerous times and every time they are absolutely gorgeous, very decadent and cloyey if there is such a word. Everybody loves them!
