How do you keep brownies fudgy?

Using a higher proportion of fat (butter or oil) to flour, a lower oven temperature, and slightly underbaking the brownies will result in a fudgier texture. Also, avoid overmixing the batter!

Can I use fresh cherries in these brownies?

Yes, you can use fresh cherries! Pit them and roughly chop them before adding them to the brownie batter. You may need to adjust baking time slightly as fresh cherries have higher moisture content.

What is the best kind of chocolate to use for the ganache?

Semi-sweet or bittersweet chocolate works well for ganache, providing a rich and balanced flavor. Use good quality chocolate for the best taste and texture.

How do I store chocolate covered cherry brownies?

Store cooled brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to a week. You can also freeze them for longer storage.
