Steps:

• Chop the two chocolates and place 3/4 of them in a heat-proof bowl. Place the bowl in a microwave on high heat for 30 seconds, remove the bowl, and stir the chocolates vigorously with a wooden spoon. Continue heating and stirring the chocolates in 30-second intervals, switching to 15-second intervals as the chocolates start to melt, continuing to stir vigorously with a wooden spoon in between each heating. Heat only until the chocolates are just melted. Add the remaining quarter of the chocolates and stir vigorously until melted and smooth. (If the chocolate isn't completely melted, microwave it for another 5 or 10 seconds.)
• Place the cornflakes in a medium bowl, pour the chocolate mixture over the cornflakes, and immediately fold them together with a rubber spatula, being careful not to break up the cornflakes. You'll want to work quickly so the chocolate doesn't harden. Fold in the cranberries.

• In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream together the butter, 1 cup granulated sugar, and the brown sugar on medium speed until smooth and fully combined, 2-3 minutes (alternatively, use a large bowl and an electric hand mixer). Turn the mixer off and scrape down the sides of the bowl, then add the egg and vanilla. Mix on medium speed until light and fluffy, 2-3 minutes, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed. With the mixer running on low speed, gradually add the flour mixture and beat until just combined.
