BLACK FOREST BROWNIES
"You'll get a double dose of cherries with these brownies - one as a fat replacer that keeps the brownies moist, and another as a sauce that adorns them. To take the brownies as a hostess gift, dust them with powdered sugar and pack them in a gift box lined with parchment paper. Don't forget to take along the cherry sauce in a small jar."

Tips:
- Use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor. A good rule of thumb is to use chocolate that contains at least 70% cocoa solids.
- Make sure your butter and eggs are at room temperature before you start baking. This will help the ingredients mix together more easily and create a smoother batter.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the brownies tough.
- 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 frosting them. This will help the frosting set properly.
- For a richer flavor, use a homemade chocolate ganache frosting.
- For a fun twist, try adding some chopped nuts, dried fruit, or even bacon to the batter.
