Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a 9x13-inch baking pan with enough aluminum foil to hang over the edges. Spray the foil with cooking spray.

Step 2

Step 3

Mix eggs into into chocolate mixture until well mixed; stir in vanilla extract. Stir flour into chocolate mixture just until batter is moistened.

Step 4

Process pecans and dried cherries in a food processor until chopped; fold into batter with chocolate chips. Spread batter into the prepared baking pan.

Step 5

Bake in the preheated oven until brownies begin to pull away from the edges and are set in the middle, about 1 hour.
