With these great ingredients, we hope and expect you will very much enjoy the baking and eating! The combination of these cherries with the chocolate is a match made in heaven 🙂

That sounds great! I was able to source the callets online. Cant wait to make these and also the drunken cherry brownies. My cherries are drowning in Amaretto as we speak. Thank you for your timely response.

Hello Suzana,
You can use any good quality chocolate that comes close to the 67% cacao content. It does not really matter what shape the chocolate comes in (we use the small half round ‘callets’ , but you can cut a bar in small pieces) because you are going to melt it anyway, but it works best like we describe over simmering water with butter and chocolate in pieces (look at pictures too).

Happy brownie baking!

Yes, we know from experience this works, but what you get is more like ‘dulce de leche’ so it does not really resemble golden syrup. But maybe it will be very nice anyway. We did however use this condensed milk caramel in between two layers of the brownies and that was delicious!

You think this would do it?

Thanks a lot for your time.

Golden syrup is a sugar syrup with a golden brown colour made from the ‘by-products’ (sucrose, fructose en glucose) of the cane sugar making process . It is used in a lot of Britisch recipes and sold over there mostly under the brand name Lyle’s golden syrup.

Hello Helen,
If this is the case than you simply need to bake the brownies for a few more minutes and or bake on a slightly higher temperature. Not all ovens are the same and the real temperature of your oven can differ from what you read on the settings too. Maybe you can make a note for next time, then they will be perfect I’m sure.

Happy baking!

Hi Cherry,
We actually did, but it is absolutely not necessary for this recipe, just make sure to use a good quality chocolate (bar).

Happy brownie baking!

Great to hear you like the recipe. Last time we made this recipe ourself, we dropped the nuts and changed it for a layer of toffee made from condensed sweetened milk in the center…. heaven!

Made these this weekend….died and went to chocolate brownie heaven…but had to return now to bake some more….
Kept it in the fridge and microwaved them op 600w for 30 secs to get them nice and gooey again. Very very chocolatey!
Thanks for another winner recipe!

Hi Richina,
Glad you like it so much 🙂
Have a great (brownie) weekend!

PS: and for Christmas, I make this version: www.weekendbakery.com/posts...-cherries/
And it is not to soon to start with the drunken cherries now 😉

Thx for the recipe!
Richina

Thanks for sharing Henk, how wonderful and congratulations!
I guess you will make them more often now. Adding morsels of white chocolate to the recipe is also a big hit with my family. We try to make them for special occasions only because it is so tempting to have another piece..and another…

Enjoy!

Hello Penelope,
Thanks for your addition. I am sure lots of people will prefer your method although I do not mind the slow stirring and smelling of chocolate over low heat myself. It can be quite meditative :).

Happy (brownie) baking,

Marieke
