Ingredients
- 1 box chocolate brownie mix
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
- 1 egg
- 1/2 cup chopped chocolate or chocolate chips
- 1 cup cherries, pitted and chopped
- 1 cup whipped cream
- 1 cup cherry sauce
- 1/4 cup water (for the cherry sauce)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to the temperature specified on the brownie mix package.
- Prepare the Brownie Batter: In a large bowl, combine the brownie mix, oil, and egg. Mix until smooth, then fold in the chopped chocolate and cherries.
- Pour and Spread: Pour the batter into a greased baking pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
- Bake the Brownies: Follow the baking instructions on the package, usually about 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with moist crumbs.
- Cool: Allow the brownies to cool in the pan for about 10-15 minutes.
- Whip the Cream: In a separate bowl, whip the cream until it forms soft peaks.
- Make the Cherry Sauce: In a saucepan over medium heat, combine chopped cherries and water. Cook until the mixture thickens, about 5-7 minutes, then let it cool.
- Layer: Once the brownies are cool, layer the whipped cream on top and drizzle with cherry sauce.
- Slice and Serve: Cut into squares, serve, and enjoy!
