Softening cream cheese is easy. Just microwave unwrapped cream cheese in a microwavable bowl on High for 15 to 20 seconds.

These look good, but read the reviews first....I also should have deleted this recipe. Trouble is all I have to say. I ended up using the pieces to make Brownie Parfaits w/yogurt. These brownies were a disappointment for sure.

I love chocolate and cherries. I love cherries and cream cheese. However, I did not care for his recipe. I did add more cherries, but the flavor just isn't there. Won't make again!
