Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 120 g unsalted butter
- 150 g semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 200 g granulated sugar
- 100 g light brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 100 g all-purpose flour
- 2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 120 g dried cherries
- 200 g dark chocolate chips
- 1 tbsp coconut oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Line a 20cm (8-inch) square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal.
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter and semi-sweet chocolate chips in 20-second intervals, stirring after each, until smooth. Allow to cool slightly.
Whisk in the granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until fully combined and smooth.
Sift in the flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Fold gently with a spatula until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly, and bake for 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
Let the brownies cool completely in the pan on a wire rack. Once cooled, crumble the brownies into fine crumbs in a large mixing bowl.
Add the dried cherries to the crumbled brownies and mix well. Using your hands, pack and roll the mixture into 1-inch balls. Transfer the balls to a parchment-lined baking sheet and chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the dark chocolate chips with the coconut oil in 20-second intervals, stirring frequently, until smooth and glossy.
Using a fork or dipping tool, dip each brownie ball into the melted chocolate, ensuring it is fully coated. Tap off any excess chocolate and place the bon bon back onto the parchment-lined baking sheet.
Once all the bon bons are coated, let them chill in the refrigerator for 20-30 minutes or until the chocolate sets.
Serve chilled or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
