These bars are my new favorite dessert. I just can not get enough!
The medley of sweet, tart, and rich flavors, combined with the chewy, crunchy, gooey textures is all your tastebuds could ever dream of!
When I was a kid, I did not like nuts in my dessert. There was no disappointment like that of biting into a brownie only to find walnuts inside. Not cool.
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!!!!)
The pecans in this recipe add the perfect crunch, but if you are like my former self and don’t like nuts in your desserts, feel free to leave them out.
Buttery crust, rich dark chocolate, sweet coconut, and tart cranberries, ahhh…you can practically taste it now, right?
These would make for a perfect, easy yet impressive dessert for Thanksgiving or Christmas. The colors even make for a nice option for Valentines Day!
Whenever you decide to make these Dark Chocolate Cranberry Magic Bars is the right time 😉 They are amazing – you won’t regret it!

Mmmmmmm! These look so nice! Even more beautiful with 4oz white chocolate chips added to the filling!

Are the dried cranberries sweetened like craisins? Where do you find them?
Stephanie Brubaker says
Yes, they are sweetened. I have seen them in all the grocery stores around here! Hope you can find some 🙂
Rebecca says
YUM! I used fresh cranberries, instead of dried, approximately 1 c. chopped in my food processor. Will probably use the whole bag next time. I thought it could have used more tart to offset all the sweet. Big hit at a Christmas party.
Beautiful and tasty. I used my cheese shredded with the cold butter and it mixed into the rest of the crust ingredients very quickly that way.
S says
Did you cook them before you used them or just put them on after chopping them? I love fresh cranberries.

I recently became obsessed with cranberries so now I literally bake everything cranberry. I actually have a huge bag of cran-raisin in the pantry so I will try these gorgeous bars very soon!
Connie says
Has anyone frozen the bars? How were they when thawed to room temperature?
Brooke says
These look fantastic and your pictures are beautiful. Adding them to the “of I have time” list. I keep finding stuff I want to make and the list is getting quite long

Thanks so much – I most likely will be recreating these this year!
Reminds me of what my mom use to make…and it’s easier than making cookies!
Suzanne says
These look amazing! I love the colors too! So festive!
