Ingredients for Chocolate Covered Cherry Brownie

Gather these items:

520 g chewy fudge brownie mix
120 ml vegetable oil
60 ml water
2 large eggs, at room temperature
340 g whipped chocolate frosting
285 g maraschino cherries, drained, stems removed, patted dry
510 g chocolate almond bark

How to Make Chocolate Covered Cherry Brownie Step-by-Step

Step 1: Preheat oven to 175°C. Generously spray a 22×33 cm baking dish with nonstick baker’s spray.
Step 2: Combine brownie mix, vegetable oil, water, and eggs in a medium mixing bowl. Stir until just combined. Spread batter evenly in the prepared dish. Bake per package instructions. Cool completely.
Step 3: Crumble half the cooled brownies into a large bowl. Spoon half the whipped frosting over crumbs. Crumble remaining brownies on top; add remaining frosting. Mix with a large spoon until evenly combined.
Step 4: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Using a 22 ml (1½ tablespoon) scoop, portion the brownie mixture. Roll into a ball, flatten slightly, and create an indentation with your thumb. Place a maraschino cherry in the center, then enclose and roll to seal. Arrange on the lined baking sheet. Repeat with remaining mixture. Chill for 60 minutes in the refrigerator.
Step 5: Break almond bark into pieces and place in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 1-minute intervals, stirring each time, until thoroughly melted and smooth.
Step 6: Using a spoon, submerge each chilled brownie ball in melted almond bark to coat. Lift with a fork, tapping gently to remove excess coating. Set coated balls back onto parchment. Repeat for all pieces. Refrigerate until fully set and ready to serve.
