Ingredients

Brownies

  • 1 ½ cups (187.5 g) all-purpose flour
  • cup (39 g) Dutch-processed cocoa powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
  • 4 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 cups (400 g) granulated sugar
  • ¾ cup (1½ sticks / 170 g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla

Cherry Topping

  • 1 jar (10 ounces) maraschino cherries, drained, juice reserved
  • ¾ cup (234 g) sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 cup (168 g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • ½ cup almond slivers, chopped

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with non-stick cooking spray.

Brownies

  • In a large bowl whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt until incorporated. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl using a hand-held mixer on medium-high speed, beat the eggs, sugar, butter, and vanilla until light and fluffy.
  • With the mixer off, add the flour mixture to the egg mixture. Turn the mixer on low and mix until the ingredients are combined.
  • Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking dish.

Cherry Topping

  • Drain cherries, reserving the juice.
  • Slice maraschino cherries in half; set aside.
  • In a small bowl, add about ⅔ of the reserved cherry juice and sweetened condensed milk. Mix well and set aside.
  • Top the brownie batter evenly with the cherries, chocolate chips, almonds, and sweetened condensed milk mixture. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the edges are bubbly and brown.
  • Allow the brownies to cool completely and set before cutting and serving.
