This spicy, soft Chocolate Chunk Cranberry Gingerbread has all the classic flavors of Fall and is bursting with tart, fresh cranberries and chocolate chunks.
I am really excited about the holidays this year, I think it has something to do with our family being bigger this year, or our daughter understanding more and passing some of her excitement onto me as well. Whatever the case, it is going to be fun. Speaking of fun, today is the last day you can enter the giveaway to win a full sized can of PAM Cooking Spray and a Le Creuset Pie Dish. Click here if you haven’t entered yet.
I am also really excited about today’s recipe, like I baked it twice in one week because it is so tasty excited! When you think about the holidays it doesn’t take long for your brain to get to gingerbread I am sure, at least not mine. I knew I wanted to create something just a little different, but with the classic delicious flavors of fall.
Plan on sharing it with a friend or two, so you won’t be tempted to eat it all yourself. It also tastes great without the added goodies, for all you non-cranberry lovers out there; enjoy and happy baking!
