Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • BROWNIE:
  • 1 2/3 cups sugar
  • 3/4 cup butter melted
  • 2 Tbsp maraschino cherry juice
  • 3 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 1/3 cups all purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup cocoa powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup maraschino cherries chopped
  • 1/2 cup almonds toasted and chopped*
  • 1 cup white chocolate chips
  • GLAZE optional:
  • 1 Tbsp maraschino cherry juice
  • 3 Tbsp powdered sugar
  • GARNISH optional:
  • maraschino cherries with stems

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease 8x8 pan and line with parchment paper. I take one large piece and bend it into the corners so it comes up the sides, trim any extra. This way you can pull up on the parchment and pull the whole brownie out of pan once cooled.
  2. BROWNIE:
  3. Combine sugar, butter, cherry juice, mix on low/medium speed until combined.
  4. Add eggs and vanilla and mix until combined.
  5. Combine flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in medium bowl.
  6. With mixer on low add dry ingredients to the sugar mixture. Mix till combined.
  7. By hand stir in the cherries, almonds and white chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
  8. Pour batter into prepared pan and bake for 25-30mins or until toothpick inserted in center comes out slightly sticky.
  9. Cool completely
  10. GLAZE:
  11. To make the glaze mix the cherry juice and powdered sugar until well combined.
  12. Drizzle over cooled brownies and let set.
  13. GARNISH:
  14. Top each brownie with a stemmed maraschino cherry

Notes

*To toast the almonds yourself - heat non stick pan on med/high heat, once hot add the almonds and toast for 3-4 minutes on each side or until each side lightly browns.
