Needed an original "Christmasy" recipe for a marketing plan at work. I always think of chocolate covered cherries during the holidays, so, here is my version of a chocolate covered cherry brownie. The icing is very rich, I cut the recipe in half from what you see in the picture. Read more It has the consistency and taste much like the insides of a chocolate covered cherry. All my "testers" loved them! See less

Good grief! These sound like heaven on a plate! Is it wrong that I have all the stuff to make these with and I have my oven pre-heating? Just sayin'! Great post, Sparow.--Kn0x--
