Everyone in my family loves a delicious batch of homemade chocolate brownies. Sometimes we like a “cake-like” brownie and sometimes we like a “fudge-like” brownie, it all depends on our mood. One thing is for certain though…they have to be soft and chewy.

I would probably use sour cherries in this recipe rather than maraschino cherries. I love chocolate in recipes with almonds.
Wonderful flavors in these brownies. I’d eat that!
I like this variation with the maraschino cherries. These would make for a very delicious special treat.
Oh, these flavors would be great together in brownies. I used to make a cake that was similar, but I think brownies are better. Hmm, maybe I should try that cake again, too.
OMG I am not a baker and right this minute I would almost kill for a plate of these brownies. I love chocolate and cherries together.
This sounds so good. The flavors of cherry and almond compliment each other so well. I am making this soon. Thank you for the recipe.
