Ingredients

2 10 oz jars maraschino cherries drained
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
½ cup butter
3 eggs slightly beaten
1 ¼ cups sugar
1 ¼ cups flour
1 tsp vanilla
¾ tsp salt
½ tsp baking powder
1 cup white chocolate chips
½ cup slivered almonds

Frosting:

3 oz cream cheese softened
⅔ cup powdered sugar

Instructions

Prep

Start by preheating the oven to350°.
Then, grease a 9X13 pan with butter or non-stick cooking spray and set aside.
Next, chop up all of the cherries into 4 small pieces and place on paper towels to help absorb the excess moisture while you are mixing up the rest of the batter.
After that, place the chocolate chips and butter in a glass bowl and microwave for 1 minute. Stir and then microwave for 30 seconds more (if needed). Stir until smooth.

Brownie Batter

In a large bowl, combine the melted chocolate mixture, eggs, sugar, flour, vanilla extract, salt and baking powder. Stir with spoon until well combined.
Then, fold in white chocolate chips, 1 cup of the chopped cherries and all the almonds. Stir until just combined.
Proceed to pour and spread the brownie batter into the prepared greased pan.

Bake

Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 35 minutes or until toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.

Frosting and Serve

Once the brownies have cooled completely, slice into bars.
Just before serving, in a small bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar together.
Then place the mixture into a piping bag or ziplocked bag with the corner snipped off. Pipe a drizzle onto each brownie and sprinkle the remaining chopped cherries on top of each individual brownie.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
