A delightful twist on classic brownies, these bars combine the richness of dark chocolate with the tartness of cherries for a truly indulgent treat.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.
Using parchment paper makes it easier to lift the bars out of the pan for cutting.
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Add 1 cup of the bittersweet chocolate chips and stir until smooth.
Stir constantly to prevent the chocolate from burning.
Remove the saucepan from heat and whisk in the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla extract until combined.
Whisking vigorously helps to dissolve the sugars for a smoother batter.
Add the eggs one at a time, whisking well after each addition.
Ensure the mixture is not too hot to avoid cooking the eggs.
Gently fold in the flour until just combined, then stir in the dried cherries and remaining chocolate chips.
Do not overmix the batter to keep the texture tender.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly. Bake for 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
Avoid overbaking to keep the bars fudgy.
Let the bars cool completely in the pan before lifting them out using the parchment overhang. Cut into squares and serve.
Cooling completely ensures clean cuts and better texture.
