In reply to laurel @wannacomewith. Haha, I know what you mean. Normally chocolate doesn't live for more than two days in my freezer. I think I just kept forgetting about them because they were shoved to the back of the freezer and I just assumed that I already ate them. Basically it was the best surprise to find them!

Okay, A – how on earth does chocolate survive long enough to be forgotten? I don’t understand that concept. And B – ditto for cranberries. Cranberries are one of those things that I’m constantly replenishing – I use them in muffins and cookies and smoothies all the time. Usually just because, regardless of whether the original recipe called for them.

And this loaf looks fantastic! I’m with you when it comes to overly sweet things. Orange + cranberry is one of my favourite combinations. I love those tart flavours. I’m pinning this one to try for sure. Thanks 🙂
