Tips:

- Use fresh cherries for the best flavor. If using frozen cherries, thaw them and drain them thoroughly before using. - Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will make the bars tough. - Bake the bars until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached. - Let the bars cool completely before cutting them into squares. This will help prevent them from falling apart. - Store the bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
