Ingredients
•
cooking spray
•
4 (1 ounce) squares semi-sweet baking chocolate
•
3/4 cup butter
•
1 1/2 cups white sugar
•
3 eggs, beaten
•
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
•
1 cup packed all-purpose flour
•
1/2 cup pecans
•
1/2 cup dried cherries
•
1/2 cup chocolate chips
Directions
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.
2
Melt baking chocolate and butter together in a microwave-safe glass or ceramic bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring after each melting, for 1 to 3 minutes. Stir sugar into chocolate mixture until dissolved. Cool mixture slightly.
3
Mix eggs into into chocolate mixture until well mixed; stir in vanilla extract. Stir flour into chocolate mixture just until batter is moistened.
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.
5
Bake in the preheated oven until brownies begin to pull away from the edges and are set in the middle, about 1 hour.
