Indulge in decadent cherry cream cheese brownies. Delightful!
Ingredients:
  • 4 ounces unsweetened baking chocolate
  • 1 cup butter or margarine
  • 2 cups sugar
  • 4 eggs
  • 1 1/2 cups Gold Medal™ all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup coarsely chopped nuts
  • 2 packages (8 ounces each) cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup chopped red or green maraschino cherries
  • 2 teaspoons red or green maraschino cherry juice
  • 1 egg
Instructions:
  • Preheat the oven to 350°F and grease a 13x9x2-inch rectangular pan. In a 1-quart saucepan, melt the chocolate and butter over low heat, stirring frequently until smooth; then remove from heat and let it cool for 5 minutes. While the chocolate mixture is cooling, mix all Cherry Cream Cheese Filling ingredients in a medium bowl until smooth and set aside.
  • In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to beat together the chocolate mixture, 2 cups of sugar, vanilla, and eggs for 1 minute on medium speed, scraping the bowl occasionally. Add flour and salt, beat on low speed for 30 seconds, scraping the bowl occasionally, then beat on medium speed for 1 minute. Finally, stir in the nuts.
  • Pour half of the batter (about 2 1/2 cups) into the pan. Add the filling on top. Pour the rest of the batter over the filling. Use a knife to create a swirl pattern for a marbled effect.
  • Bake for 45 to 50 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let it cool completely for about 1 hour. Cut into 48 brownie squares and store covered in the refrigerator.
