Wish I had read the reviews before I made these. Couldn't taste the cherry flavoring at all! Was really disappointed. They are pretty tho'. Probably will never make again!

My dad's favorite candy is cherry choclates so I made these brownies for dessert for Fathers Day dinner. They were a HUGE hit! I served them with a scoop of French vanilla icecream.
