Cherry and Chocolate Brownies

5.0(7)

A decadent delight I found in a March 2005 issue of 'Fresh' magazine. This was a reader's recipe from Sharon Johnston, Mount Crosby, Queensland (Australia). There is a photograph on the same page as the recipe, and Sharon looks about 10 years old. The page bore the heading 'A slice of heaven.' I considered adding nuts to the recipe, but decided to leave it exactly as it was. Nuts would be the obvious addition here, possibly instead of the coconut. Or perhaps 1/2 cup of coconut and 1/2 cup chopped macadamia nuts. Hope you enjoy Sharon's slices of heaven!
