Tips:

Use high-quality dark chocolate for a rich, decadent flavor.
Fresh cherries add a burst of sweetness and tartness. If you don't have fresh cherries, you can use frozen or canned cherries.
Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in tough, dry brownies.
Bake the brownies 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 hold their shape.
