Chocolate Cherry Brownie Squares

[GeorgiaPeach]

One of my favorite recipes is the Chocolate Cherry Brownie Squares. It was in a Season's Best many years ago. I am in DESPERATE need of getting my hands on the actual recipe. I have the ingredients list but we have moved and I can't find my old SBCB.

Yes, I've tried searching for it online in various places but can't find it. I need it in less than 3 hours so can someone please help me??

Thanks everyone!! I promise I did try to find it myself I did a recipe search on CC and went to Joyce's Fine Cooking and went through all my cookbooks (that aren't still packed in a box). I didn't try google though.

These are my absolute favorite but haven't made them in so long I couldn't remember how much cherry juice to use.

Yum, Yum....can't wait to eat them tonight!!

New Variation for this recipeI did an office breakroom "show" today. When she booked it we were doing it for the office as a cooking show at 5:30. Tuesday I found out she wanted it from 4-5 pm and was going to make it a "oh just drop in when you get off work".

She forgot to get the Cool Whip. She offered to go and get it but it was too late. We just left it out. I had baked the brownies in the mini muffin pan so they could be bite size and not need forks to eat them. I used the EAD and it worked fine and to quote one of the ladies....they were "killer"!

So, while I don't encourage leaving out the CW, it turned out just fine
