Indulge in the rich and decadent flavors of Maraschino Cherry Brownies. These brownies are a delightful combination of fudgy chocolate, sweet maraschino cherries, and gooey chocolate chips. Perfect for satisfying your chocolate cravings!

Ingredients: ½ cup 1 stick unsalted butter. 1 cup granulated sugar. 2 large eggs. 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. 1/3 cup cocoa powder. ½ cup all-purpose flour. ¼ teaspoon salt. ½ cup maraschino cherries, chopped. ½ cup semisweet chocolate chips.

Instructions: Preheat your oven to 350F 175C and grease a 9x9 inch baking pan. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter in 30-second intervals until completely melted. Stir in the granulated sugar and mix until well combined. Add the eggs and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth. In a separate bowl, sift together the cocoa powder, all-purpose flour, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and stir until just combined. Fold in the chopped maraschino cherries and semisweet chocolate chips. Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Remove from the oven and let the brownies cool in the pan for at least 10 minutes before cutting into squares. Serve and enjoy!
