How to Make Merry Cherry Brownies
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Grease a 13x9 inch baking pan with shortening or cooking spray.
- In a medium bowl, combine all filling ingredients (see below) and mix until smooth. Set aside.
- In a 2-quart saucepan, melt chocolate chips and butter over low heat, stirring constantly until smooth.
- Remove from heat and let cool for 5 minutes.
- In a large bowl, beat the cooled chocolate mixture, 2 cups granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 4 large eggs with an electric mixer on medium speed for 1 minute, scraping down the bowl as needed.
- Reduce mixer speed to low and beat in 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour and ½ teaspoon salt for 30 seconds, scraping the bowl as needed.
- Increase mixer speed to medium and beat for another minute.
- Stir in 1 cup chopped nuts (optional).
- Spread half of the batter evenly in the prepared pan.
- Spread the cherry filling evenly over the batter.
- Carefully spread the remaining batter over the filling.
- Gently swirl the batters together with a knife or toothpick for a marbled effect.
- Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a wooden toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the brownies cool completely in the pan for at least 1 hour before cutting.
- Cut into 48 brownies (8 rows x 6 rows).
- Store covered in the refrigerator.
