    Ingredients

    You'll need a box of brownie mix along with the ingredients listed on the box to make these brownies. Additionally, you'll need some dark chocolate chips, dried cherries, and a quarter cup of bourbon.

    Instructions

    Here's how to put it all together:

    Heat the bourbon over low heat in a small saucepan until it simmers. Remove from heat, and mix the dried cherries with the bourbon and let it sit for 10-15 minutes.

    Next, preheat your oven to the temperature listed on the brownie mix box and grease a 9x9 inch baking dish with cooking spray. Then, whip up the brownie mix batter (according to the box's instructions).

    Once the brownie mix is prepared, fold in the chocolate chips and the bourbon-soaked cherries (and any remaining bourbon!). Pour the brownie batter mixture into the greased baking dish and smooth the top. Bake the fudgy cherry brownies in the preheated oven for the time listed on the box.

    Check the brownies with a toothpick or knife to see if they are done. If the toothpick or paring knife comes out clean, the brownies are ready. Let the brownies cool in the baking dish for 10-15 minutes.

    Serve the brownies warm or at room temperature, and enjoy! The rich, chocolatey flavor of the brownies pairs perfectly with the tartness of the dried cherries and the warmth of the bourbon.
