Chocolate Cherry Chip Brownies

There are so many good Brownie recipes and so little time to taste them all, but I do keep trying. These Brownies happened because I was browsing the baking aisle at the grocery store last week and came across cherry flavored baking morsels. I had not tried them in a recipe before, nor had I seen them in my local grocery store, so I tossed a couple of bags into my shopping cart.

With the flavor of chocolate covered cherries in the back of my mind, I decided I would adapt a brownie recipe for the cherry chips. The chocolate/cherry flavor combo is one I love, and I'm glad I thought of adding the cherry chips to my Brownies. I'm going to be looking for additional ways to use these tasty little cherry chips, and I'm always open for new recipes if anyone has an idea to send my way.
