Preheat oven to 350 F.

Melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat, once melted, add sugar and stir continuously for 2 more minutes.

Remove from heat and stir in cocoa powder and salt, let cool for 5 minutes.

While wet ingredients are sitting; combine flour, baking power, and the chocolate chips in a medium bowl.

Once the 5 minutes have passed, add vanilla, eggs and wisk until well blended.

Wisk in dry ingredients until well blended.

Grease or line a 9x13 in baking pan with parchment paper.

Pour batter into prepared pan and spread out evenly, bake for 25-28 minutes.

Remove brownies from oven and allow to cool completely, this is why I like to use parchment paper, because I can simply pick up the edges and move it to a cooling rack to cool faster.

Frost just before serving for best results!

Add freeze dried cranberries to a food processor and pulse into a fine dust.

Combine heavy cream, confectioners' sugar and pudding mix in a bowl or stand mixer and beat on low/medium speed until cream starts to stiffen.

Just as you see the cream start to stiffen, slowly add in the cranberry dust and mix until frosting is light and fluffy.

Spread out on cooled brownies and top with Dove Dark Chocolate Covered Cranberries.
