The kicker with these chocolate cherry brownies is that for an ultimate treat, I recommend you roast the cherries, as shared in this recipe.

These look divine.

A must try, for sure.

Ingredients

For the brownies:

• 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
• 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 3/4 cup granulated sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 cup fresh or frozen cherries, pitted and chopped (if using frozen, do not thaw)

For garnish (optional):

• Powdered sugar
• Additional chocolate chips or cherries for topping

Directions

• Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8x8-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
• Melt butter and chocolate: In a medium saucepan, melt the butter and chocolate chips together over low heat, stirring until smooth. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
• Mix wet ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined. Add the melted chocolate mixture and stir until smooth.
• Combine dry ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, and baking powder. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
• Fold in cherries: Gently fold in the chopped cherries until evenly distributed in the batter.
• Pour into the pan: Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly.
• Bake: Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs (but not wet batter).
• Cool and serve: Allow the brownies to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Once cooled, cut into squares.
• Garnish (optional): Dust with powdered sugar or top with additional chocolate chips or cherries before serving.
