Unfortunately this didn't work for me. I don't know if it's my luck with recipes lately or my oven but this is the second time recently that a brownie recipe baked on the edges but stayed raw in the center. The center of these brownies had a bottom layer (about 1/8") that was baked but on top was still raw. About 2" around the edges was baked after 30 minutes. I'm afraid the edges would have been burned to a crisp before the center finished baking. It's too bad because the taste was good (of the edges). I'm wondering if the problem was from the fresh cranberries because I used frozen (thawed) and would like to try these again without the fresh berries (only the dried). I'm sorry these didn't work for me - I hope they work better for the next person!
