Needed an original Christmasy recipe for a marketing plan at work. I always think of chocolate covered cherries during the holidays, so, here is my version of a chocolate covered cherry brownie. The icing is very rich, I cut the recipe in half from what you see in the picture. Read more . It has the consistency and taste much like the insides of a chocolate covered cherry. All my testers loved them! Ingredients:
