Cherry Brownies are fudgy homemade brownies full of chunks of chocolate and cherries. They are a perfect balance of rich chocolate and tart cherries and can be ready in 30 minutes!
Preheat oven to 350 degrees (F). Spray an 8×8 pan with non-stick spray and then lay thick strips of parchment paper across the bottom of the pan in a cross shape. This will make it easier to lift the brownies out of the pan once cooled.
In a medium bowl combine the melted butter and brown sugar. When fully combined add the eggs and vanilla. Beat until fully combined and light in color.
In a small bowl combine the flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Whisk to combine and remove any lumps.
Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined. Overmixing will create tough brownies.
Fold the chocolate and cherries into the mixture and pour into the prepared baking dish.
Bake the brownies for 17-20 minutes, longer if you would like a firmer brownie
Remove from oven and allow to cool.

The provided nutrition information is an estimate. The calorie accuracy is not guaranteed.
Add chunks of chocolate and extra cherries on top before baking. This will give you those incredible puddles of chocolate on top of the brownies.
Sprinkle the brownies with flaky sea salt before serving. Salt complements chocolate perfectly and will really bring out the flavor.
