Transfer batter to prepared pan and bake until just cooked through and golden brown, about 20 minutes; set aside to let cool.


Melt remaining 3/4 cup chocolate chunks. 


Spread 2/3 of melted chocolate over bars and immediately scatter remaining 1/2 cup cranberries and popcorn over the top, pressing down gently to help adhere. 


Drizzle remaining chocolate over bars. 


Set aside until chocolate sets, about 15 minutes; cut into squares and serve immediately.
