TRIPLE CHOCOLATE CHERRY BROWNIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350F. Butter the bottom and sides of a 9×13 inch metal baking pan. Put a long piece of parchment paper in the bottom of the pan, letting the parchment extend up two sides of the pan and overhang slightly on both ends. Place another piece of parchment paper in the same manner, perpendicular to the first sheet. (This will make it easy to remove the bars from the pan after they have baked.) Butter the parchment.
• In a large bowl, whisk cocoa, espresso powder, and boiling water together in large bowl until smooth. Add unsweetened chocolate and whisk until chocolate is melted. Whisk in melted butter and oil. Add eggs, yolks, vanilla, cherry flavoring and almond extract, and continue to whisk until smooth and homogeneous. Whisk in sugar until fully incorporated. Add flour, cinnamon and salt and mix with rubber spatula until combined. Fold in bittersweet chocolate pieces and chopped cherries.
• Scrape batter into prepared pan and bake 30 to 35 minutes, or until toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached. Transfer pan to wire rack and cool 1½ hours.
• Using parchment overhang, lift brownies from pan. Return brownies to wire rack and let cool completely, about 1 hour. Cut into 2-inch squares and serve.

CHERRY BROWNIES FROM SCRATCH

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9x13-inch baking pan.
• Mix sugar, oil, and almond extract together in a large bowl until well blended.
• Combine flour, cocoa, baking soda, and salt in another bowl; stir into sugar mixture until combined. Beat in 1/2 of the cherries using an electric mixer until moistened. Fold in remaining cherries. Pour batter into the prepared pan.
• Bake in the preheated oven until brownies spring back when gently touched, 25 to 30 minutes.

CHERRY CHEESECAKE SWIRL BROWNIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Coat a 9x9 baking dish well with cooking spray, oil or butter.
• Finely chop cherries and strain, pressing liquid out of the cherries. In a medium bowl, soften the cream cheese in the microwave. Add granulated sugar, powdered sugar, chopped cherries, cherry juice, egg and almond extract to the cream cheese then stir to combine well; set aside.
• In a separate bowl, combine brownie mix, egg, water, oil and chocolate chips then stir with a spatula until combined well; batter will be thick.
• Pour half the mixture into prepared pan. Evenly spread the cheesecake layer over the top. It works best to work slowly and pour batter where needed. Next, use a spatula and drop small dollop of brownie batter over cheesecake layer. It's thick batter and won't spread much on top of the cheesecake so work in small dollop batches. Run a butter knife through the top brownie layer to create design.
• Bake at 350 degrees F for 75-80 minutes, or until toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cover with dish with foil after 45 minutes of baking then continue to back. Allow to cool for at least 90 minutes before frosting and cutting.
