CRANBERRY-NUT BROWNIES

Cranberry-Nut Brownies image

I like to add extras like chips, nuts and dried cranberries to a brownie mix to turn regular brownies into the best brownies ever. Sometimes, I frost them with chocolate frosting and sprinkle with finely chopped walnuts for a super-rich treat.-Rita Cotten, Metropolis, Illinois
