Notes
When melting the chocolate in the microwave or a double boiler on the stove, stir it frequently to avoid burning it.

What makes a fudgy brownie? To ensure your brownies turn out fudgy and moist, not cakey, this recipe does not include any rising agent. Also, don't over-bake the cherry brownie. Start by cooking it for 25 minutes and check if the mixture has been set with a clean knife. You want to slightly undercook the brownie and some fudgy mixture sticking to the knife as it continues to bake in the tin for a few minutes once you removed it from the oven.
