#celebratingfoodholidays
What a fun foodie holiday! Why? Because I love chocolate and cherry. It’s such a great combo. As you well know, I’ve been a raging chocolate fan for about forever. But cherries…they’re a new crush of mine within the past few years. So expect to say more cherry recipes coming your way over the next few years.
I love their sweetness. I love their tartness.
But more than that, I love how pretty they are. They have my heart. ????
Not one was this dessert super fun to make but ask my kids. It was super fun to eat too. Yum!
It’s kind of got all of our families favorite desserts in one. My husband loves cherry pie filling. I love brownies. And we all love anything with cream cheese.
This dessert would be perfect for your next summer gathering. You’ll be sure to get plenty of compliments for its great classy looks and its appealing taste. So what are you waiting for? Grab the ingredients and let’s get to baking!
Cherries, you have my heart completely in this photo. Seriously.
Til we meet and eat again,

It says baking powder in the directions but no amount in the box ingredient list? Am I missing it?
Hey, so sorry about that. That was an error. There is no baking powder in this recipe. I’ve updated the directions for proper wording. Thanks for stopping by!
