  • Preheat the oven to 180C/350F/Gas 4 and line a 30x20cm/12x8in tin with baking parchment.

  • Gently heat the brandy then add the cranberries and leave to soak while you prepare the brownie mix.

  • Melt the chocolate and butter in a bowl over a pan of simmering water, or in the microwave. Stir gently until smooth then set aside to cool slightly.

  • In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs and sugar until pale and fluffy.

  • Whisk the chocolate and butter mix into the eggs then gently fold in the flour, mixed spice, pecans, cranberries and brandy until fully incorporated.

  • Pour into the prepared tin, smooth the surface then bake in the oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the brownie is firm to the touch.

  • Leave to cool in the tin for 10 minutes, then place on a wire rack until cooled completely.

  • Once cool, cut into squares and dust the tops with icing sugar.
