We were very disappointed in this recipe. The brownies were good but the BC pouch brownie we buy for $1 is *just* as good if not better. We really dislike frostings that are mostly powdered sugar because that's really all you taste and this one was no exception. The most disappointing thing: there was NO cherry taste at all in the brownies or frosting. =(

I doubled this recipe since I always have a crowd to eat brownies and everyone loved them. I don't notice the cherry cola flavor as being present but they are chewy like old fashioned brownies, not cake like, and I think the cola contributes to that. The frosting is very good and cherry on top is great! The batter is thick and make sure to spread them evenly in well sprayed tray or edges will be thin and overcook. I took mine out with a little batter sticking to the toothpick but pulling away from edges of the cooking pan and they kept the chewy texture for two days and didn't dry out.

I could not taste the cherry flavor in the brownies at all. If I make these again I would use part maraschino cherry juice as other people have suggested. The icing was very good though. I only made half and it was still plenty. It seemed too thick, so I added extra soda which gave it a nice cherry flavor. I think that the carbonation in the soda also gave the icing a nice consistency.
