Irresistible Chocolate Cherry Brownies (Fudgy, Rich & Fruity)

5. Bake

7. Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan. If desired, top with a few extra cherries or chocolate chips for presentation.
8. Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until the top is set and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs (not wet batter).

6. Cool & Serve

9. Let brownies cool completely in the pan on a wire rack — this helps them set for clean slicing.
10. Use the parchment overhang to lift brownies from the pan. Slice into squares.
11. Optional: Dust with powdered sugar or top with a cherry before serving.
