Time 55m

Yield 20 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup chopped well-drained maraschino cherry
3 eggs
3 tablespoons water
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 (21 1/4 ounce) package betty crocker supreme triple chunk brownie mix

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Spray bottom of 13"X9" pan with cooking spray.

  • Make brownie batter as directed on package; spread 1/2 of batter in pan.

  • Spoon remaining batter on top and spread gently to cover.
  • Bake for 40-43 minutes or until toothpick inserted 2 inches from side of pan comes out almost clean.
  • Cool completely before cutting.
  • Store covered in refrigerator.

Tips:

  • Use fresh cherries. Fresh cherries will give your brownies the best flavor. If you don't have fresh cherries, you can use frozen cherries, but be sure to thaw them and drain them before using.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing the batter will make the brownies tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the brownies until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached. If the toothpick comes out clean, the brownies are overbaked.
  • Let the brownies cool completely before cutting them. This will help prevent them from falling apart.
  • Serve the brownies with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream. This is a classic combination that everyone will love.
