Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 ounces semisweet chocolate, coarsely chopped
4 ounces unsweetened chocolate, coarsely chopped
1/2 cup unsalted butter, cut into pieces
3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
3 large eggs
1 and 3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup all-purpose flour
10 ounce jar maraschino cherries, drained

  • Add the chocolate and butter to a medium heatproof bowl set over a pot of simmering water. Stir occasionally until fully melted and smooth. Whisk in the cocoa powder until smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.
  • In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, sugar, vanilla, and salt until combined. Whisk in the melted chocolate until well combined. Fold in the flour with a rubber spatula just until combined. Fold in the cherries.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate. The chocolate is the star of the show in these brownies, so it's important to use a good quality chocolate that you enjoy the taste of.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing the batter will result in tough, dense brownies. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Use fresh cherries. Fresh cherries will give your brownies the best flavor. If you don't have fresh cherries, you can use frozen cherries that have been thawed and drained.
  • Don't overbake the brownies. Overbaked brownies will be dry and crumbly. Bake the brownies just until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached.
  • Let the brownies cool completely before cutting them. This will help them to set and prevent them from falling apart.

Conclusion:

These chocolate cherry chunk brownies are the perfect treat for any occasion. They're rich, fudgy, and packed with chocolate and cherry flavor. They're also easy to make, so you can enjoy them anytime you have a craving for something sweet.
