What’s Cooking in Gail’s Kitchen? The Clean Plate Club: Brownie Cherry Bomb! Nothing taste more decadent than rich dark chocolate and naturally sweet cherries. Is it any wonder it’s a popular combination? What you won’t end up with is a dry chocolate cake-like dessert. Instead it’ll be dense, moist, and gooey. Sink your teeth into the glossy, crisp outer shell. Mmmm. You may even find yourself licking your fingers. This cherry fudge brownie truly is as good as it sounds. It’s the bomb!
BROWNIE CHERRY BOMB
Ingredients:
1/2 cup butter, melted
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 1/8 cups sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon almond extract
1/2 cup flour
1/2 cup cocoa powder
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
1 cup cherries, halved
1 cup mini semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions:
Set oven rack on highest setting. Preheat oven to 350°. Spray a 8-inch square pan with nonstick oil. Line with parchment paper. Set aside. Combine melted butter, olive oil, and sugar in a mixing bowl. Stir well to combine. Add eggs, vanilla extract, and almond extract. Beat one minute longer for best results. The color will change to a lighter color. Sift together flour, cocoa powder, and sea salt. Gently fold dry ingredients into wet ingredients just until combined. Fold in cut cherries. Pour batter into prepared pan, spreading evenly. Top with mini chocolate chips. Bake for about 20 minutes until center is slightly set. Insert a toothpick into the center and it should still come out coated with chocolate. That’s okay. Remove from oven and cool for a couple hours on a wire rack. Lift and transfer the parchment paper to a cutting board. Cut into squares. Serve at room temperature.
Now dat’s da bomb!

I agree. When I was younger, I couldn’t wait for chocolate-covered cherries at Christmastime. 🍃🍒

This dish looks richer than Bill Gates, and probably a lot better company too. Okay, that was a cheap shot but hey, I’m looking for . . wait for it . . . brownie points.
