Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x9-inch baking pan.
-
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla extract, and mix until well combined.
-
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, mixing until just combined.
-
Press two-thirds of the dough into the prepared baking pan, reserving the remaining dough for the topping.
-
In a small saucepan, heat the sweetened condensed milk and chocolate chips over low heat until melted and smooth. Pour the chocolate mixture over the dough in the pan.
-
Sprinkle the chopped cherries and nuts over the chocolate layer. Crumble the reserved dough over the top.
-
Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is slightly gooey.
-
Allow the bars to cool in the pan for 30 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
-
Cut into squares and serve.
