Black Forest Chocolate Chip Brownies are a chocolate lovers dream! Filled with sweet cherries and chocolate chips, these are always a huge hit at parties.
If you like brownies or bars be sure to try these Cream Cheese Blondie Bars, Dr. Pepper Brownies, and Amaretto Brownies.
These Black Forest Brownies are seriously so delicious! They are inspired from classic Black Forest Cake. The original cake uses cherry liqueur but I am substituting almond extract.
Ingredients Needed:
Eggs
Sugar – I use Dixie Crystals Extra Fine Sugar
Brown Sugar – I use Dixie Crystals Light Brown Sugar
Butter – Make sure to melt the butter. You can melt in the microwave or on the stove.
All-Purpose Flour – Make sure to use all-purpose flour.
Cocoa Powder – This gives the chocolate flavor to the brownies.
Almond Extract – Almond Extract adds a nice layer of flavor to the black forest brownies.
Salt – This helps to balance the sweetness.
Cherries – I use cherries from cherry pie filling. Use a fork or slotted spoon to separate the cherries from the cherry pie filling.
Chocolate Chips – I use milk chocolate chips but semi-sweet or even white chocolate chips would also be delicious.
