Ingredients
- 200 g butter, roughly diced

- 1 tsp pure vanilla essence
- 1 cup plain flour
- ½ cup dried sour cherries

Instructions
Preheat oven to 180˚C (160°C fan-forced). Grease and line a 20 cm square cake pan.
Combine butter and chocolate in a small saucepan over a low heat and stir until butter and chocolate have melted. Set aside and allow to cool.
Combine eggs, sugar and vanilla essence in a bowl and add cooled chocolate mixture.
Place flour and cherries in a bowl. Add chocolate mixture and stir until just combined. Pour into the pan and evenly place over the white chocolate chunks.
Bake for 45–50 minutes or until cooked when tested. Allow to cool completely in the tin. Remove and cut into 16 pieces.

• For an even “fudgier” brownie, reduce the cooking time by 5–10 minutes, experiment until you find “fudginess” you like.
