Categories     Dessert

Time 2h40m

Number Of Ingredients 10

21 ounces Betty Crocker Supreme brownie mix
3 Tablespoons water
½ cup vegetable oil
2 eggs
¾ cup butter (softened)
3½ cups powdered sugar
½ cup mini semi-sweet chocolate chips

  • In a medium sized mixing bowl combine butter, powdered sugar, and 3 Tablespoons of juice from the maraschino cherries.
  • Beat until smooth and creamy.
  • Remove all of the cherries from the jar and chop.
  • Fold in the chopped cherries and chocolate chips into the batter.
  • Spread over the top of cooled brownies.
  • Place in the freezer for about 30 minutes to let the cherry layer set up well.
  • Melt chocolate chips and butter together in the microwave at 30 second intervals. Stir, and repeat for 30 more seconds. Continue to do this until chocolate is smooth and melted.

Tips:

  • Prepare your baking pan beforehand: Line the pan with parchment paper or grease it with butter and flour to ensure the brownies come out cleanly.
  • Measure your ingredients accurately: Using a kitchen scale is recommended for precise measurements, as it can greatly affect the texture and taste of the brownies.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Mix just until the ingredients are well combined. Overmixing can result in tough, dense brownies.
  • Use high-quality chocolate: The quality of the chocolate used will greatly impact the flavor of the brownies. Opt for a good-quality semisweet or bittersweet chocolate.
  • Don't overbake the brownies: Keep a close eye on the brownies while they're baking. Overbaking can make them dry and crumbly.
  • Let the brownies cool completely before cutting them: This will help them set properly and prevent them from falling apart.

Conclusion:

Follow these tips and you'll be able to create delicious, fudgy chocolate cherry chunk brownies that will satisfy your sweet tooth and impress your friends and family. Remember to experiment with different flavors and toppings to customize your brownies and make them truly unique. Happy baking!
