DARK CHOCOLATE CRANBERRY MAGIC BARS


The medley of sweet, tart, and rich flavors, combined with the chewy, crunchy, gooey textures is all your tastebuds could ever dream of!




These days, I fully enjoy the crunch and flavor that comes from adding nuts to different desserts. Although, to be completely honest, I still much prefer my brownies sans walnuts (these Salted Chocolate Chip Walnut Cookies are another story though. Holy moly – SO GOOD!!!!)
