Hello lovelies,
Has the cranberry obsession carried on into the new year? Yes, yes it has! Am I turning cranberry crazy? Maybe but I can’t help it, they are just that good!
I’ve found working with cranberries and finding different ingredients to work with cranberries such a fun task. They are a fruit which pair beautifully with many other ingredients. Todays bake is a great representation of that!
Cranberries. White chocolate. Milk chocolate. Condensed milk. Ugh, need I say more. This may just be one of the best indulgent treats I’ve made. Period.
If your looking for something sweet, rich in flavour and want to satisfy your sugar cravings, I’d say todays bake is perfect for you. Put it this way, I don’t think they even lasted 3 days with my family. They were snatched up pretty quickly and that’s when I know a bake is good.

- Secondly, in a small pan, add the 227g of salted butter and place the pan into the oven for 5 minutes.
- Whilst the butter is in the oven, in a separate bowl add the 135g of rolled oats and 2tbsp brown sugar.
- Once the 5 minutes is up, take the butter out the oven and pour the butter into the rolled oats and brown sugar mixture and stir to combine.
- Now, add the butter mixture into the brownie tin and using a spatula press the mixture down into the tin.
- Place the brownie tin into oven again for 5 minutes.
- When the 5 minutes is up, take out the oven, place on the counter and pour your condense milk on top.
- Sprinkle the 100g of white chocolate chips, 100g of dried cranberries and 50g of milk chocolate chips.
- Place the tin into the oven and allow to cook for 25 minutes (TIP: after 25 minutes, the mixture will still be bubbling, don’t panic, as the bars begin to cool it will harden).
- Finally, take the bars out the oven and allow to cool in the tin for around an hour to allow it to harden, then transfer to wire rack to cool further.

This looks really nice, I always go mad with cranberries at Christmas then abandon them for the rest of the year. It would be nice to try a bake with them that isn’t festive themed!
