I'm not usually a fan of brownies, but these were really good. The cherry swirl added a nice tartness that balanced out the sweetness of the chocolate.

The brownies were delicious, but I found the cherry swirl to be a bit overpowering. Next time I'll use less cherry filling.

The brownies were a little dry, even though I followed the recipe exactly. I think I might try adding an extra egg next time to see if that helps.

These brownies were a bit too sweet for my taste, but my kids loved them. I think next time I'll reduce the amount of sugar by 1/4 cup.
