With Valentine’s Day approaching, I wanted to share an easy dessert idea. These brownies are eye-catching with their bright red, white and dark brown colors!

This is one of those recipes I tried years ago and tucked it away to make again … and promptly forgot about it! Don’t you hate when you do that?! I was going through some paperwork recently, and found this little gem. I remembered how great it was years ago – and knew I had to make it again and share it with y’all!

Ingredients 

  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 cup butter, melted, 2 sticks
  • 4 eggs
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup baking cocoa
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups miniature marshmallows
  • 1 jar maraschino cherries, drained well and chopped, 10 oz.
  • ½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 2 tablespoons heavy whipping cream

Instructions 

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray a 9×13-in. baking pan with cooking spray and set aside.
  • In a large bowl, cream the sugar and butter. Add the eggs and beat until thoroughly combined.
  • In a separate medium bowl, combine the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and salt. Gradually add to the creamed mixture.
  • Pour and spread the mixture evenly into the prepared pan. Bake for 28 minutes. Remove from the oven and sprinkle with the marshmallows. Bake an additional 2 minutes or until the marshmallows are softened, but not browned. Remove from the oven. Sprinkle with cherries and allow to cool on a wire rack.
  • In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate and cream. Stir until smooth. Drizzle chocolate over brownies.
  • Let stand until chocolate is set! Cut into squares.

Notes

  • Make sure and drain the cherries very well, even patting them with a paper towel if needed.
