If you love the classic flavor combination of rich chocolate and sweet cherries, you’ll love these brownies! Chopped maraschino cherries and chocolate chips are stirred into the batter and added on top. So there’s no shortage of chewy cherries and gooey melted chocolate when you bite in these brownies. And no one will guess these beauties started with a box of Betty Crocker™ Supreme original brownie mix, or that they only took 20 minutes to prep. Keep this recipe in your back pocket (and keep your pantry stocked with brownie mix) and you’ll be ready for any party, bake sale or other occasion that pops up!
