EASY CHERRY CHOCOLATE BROWNIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Prepare brownie mix according to package directions using the oil, water, and eggs.
• Mix the chocolate chips into the batter and then fold in the cherry pie filling until combined.
• Line a 9 x 13 inch baking pan with foil and spray with non-stick cooking spray. Spread batter into the pan.
• Bake in the lined 9 x 13 inch baking pan according to package directions until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. This may take a little longer than listed on the box. Cool completely on a wire rack.

CHOCOLATE CHERRY BROWNIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 175 C (160 C fan). Butter the bottom and the sides of your 8" square baking tin and line it with baking paper, with plenty of overhang.
• In a medium saucepan, combine the butter and 100g of sugar and heat over a medium heat, stirring slowly until the sugar has dissolved and the butter has melted completely, about 1-2 minutes. Set aside and allow to cool slightly.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs and the remaining 200g of sugar until light, smooth and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Pour the sugar and butter mixture into the sugar and egg mixture and whisk to combine.
• In a medium bowl mix together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and salt. Add the dry ingredients to the bowl with sugar, egg and butter mix and whisk to combine. Do not overmix, few streaks of flour remaining are just fine. Add the chocolate and cherries and fold them with spatula until they are evenly incorporated. Pour the batter into the prepared baking tin and smooth the top with spatula. You can also reserve a small handful of chopped chocolate and scatter it over the top of brownie batter.
• Bake the brownies for 38- 40 minutes or until the top of the brownies is set and shiny, with few cracks in the surface. Toothpick inserted in the middle will not be clean and should have crumb on it.
• Allow the brownies to cool and set in the tin for at least 1 hour or ideally, until completely cool (I always transfer mine to the fridge to set overnight). Use the overhang baking paper to lift the brownies from the tin, slice into 16 square pieces and enjoy!

CHERRY BROWNIES

Steps:

• Fold together brownie mix, eggs, and entire can of pie filling so no powder is left, be careful to not mix harshly and smash all cherries.
• Spray mini muffin tin with non stick spray and add brownie mix to holes, about 3/4 way full.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees and bake for 15 minutes, regular size muffin tin brownies take closer to 20 minutes or until top is firm to touch.
• Cool or eat warm!

CHERRY CHEESECAKE BROWNIES

Steps:

Combine flour (see Cook's Note), baking powder, and salt in a small bowl and add to batter. Mix until well combined and pour into the prepared baking pan. Level with a knife or spatula.
• Beat together cream cheese, sugar and 1 egg in a second bowl until smooth. Dollop the cream cheese mixture on top of the brownie batter.
• Separate cherries from the the jelled filling and dollop them over the cream cheese mixture, saving leftover jelly for another use if desired. Swirl together using a knife.

FROM-SCRATCH CHERRY BROWNIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F
• Grease a 9" square pan.
• Melt unsweetened chocolate and butter in the microwave.
• Combine flour, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl. Whisk briefly to aerate (could sift, but I find it messier).
• In a separate bowl, beat eggs and vanilla until fluffy. Add sugar in three additions, beating well between additions.
• Add the butter/chocolate mixture to the egg/sugar mixture and mix thoroughly.
• Add the wet mixture to the dry. Stir very gently just until combined.
• Add cherries and chips and stir just until distributed.
• Pour into prepared pan. Sprinkle top with nuts if desired.
• Bake for 20-30 minutes. The edges should pull away from the pan slightly when they're done. Don't overbake.
• Note: The original recipe says 20 minutes. Mine took 30. I can't tell if my oven's off or the cherries are causing the baking time to be longer.
