Directions
Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a 10 inch Springform pan.
In a large bowl, combine the brownie mix, eggs, oil and water. Fold in pecans.
Transfer to prepared pan. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out with moist crumbs.
Cool completely on a wire rack.
For filling:
In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese, cranberry juice and sugar until smooth; set aside 1 cup Cool Whip for garnish.
Fold remaining topping into cream cheese mixture.
Carefully spread over brownie.
Stir cranberry sauce; carefully spread over the filling. Garnish with reserved whipped topping and pecan halves if desired (see photo).
Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.
Refrigerate leftovers.
