  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!

  With an extra ten minutes in the oven you can do this recipe in a cake ring to make lovely slices. I have also gotten away with one less egg and extra liquid in the past. Here are a few different tips for making these brownies even more amazing: - use macadamia nuts instead of pistachios - swap half the cranberry juice for a really thick smoothie - instead of cranberries, try frozen blueberries or raspberries - by being frozen, they stay really juicy when baking. Enjoy!!

  These taste better when left for at least a day. Delicious. Only down side was chopping the pistachio nuts - very time consuming!

  I altered the recipe as I didn't fancy the cranberries so I just used a little bit of milk - it was delicious but really heavy. Only problem was the nuts are a bit soft now a day later - any ideas how to avoid that?

  I made these for a charity bake-sale and they were pretty popular. I think I would be more generous with the cranberry juice and pieces next time though! Chopping the pistachios was very time consuming, but they were perfect for these brownies.
