Maraschino Cherry Brownies

Sweet and gooey, that’s the way we love our brownies. Maraschino cherries add the most wonderful flavor to this recipe. Bake a batch and you’ll know what I’m talking about. Enjoy!

My son Josh likes two maraschino cherries in a glass of seltzer when out for dinner. So, when thinking of a new brownie recipe, those little cherries came to mind. I surprised my son with them the other day. When he took a bite, he tasted that familiar flavor and absolutely loved them. The next day he grabbed one and packed it into his lunch bag. They are sweet and gooey. Just the way a brownie should be.
