Preheat your oven to 350Β°F (175Β°C). Line a 9x9-inch square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving a slight overhang for easy removal.
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Once melted, add the semi-sweet chocolate chips and stir until fully melted and smooth. Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, light brown sugar, and the melted chocolate mixture until combined.
Add the eggs, one at a time, whisking well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a rubber spatula until no streaks of flour remain.
Gently fold in the chopped dried cherries and dark chocolate chunks until evenly distributed.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it into an even layer with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs (but not wet batter).
Let the brownies cool completely in the pan on a wire rack. Use the parchment paper overhang to lift the brownies out of the pan, then cut into 12 squares.
Serve and enjoy! These brownies are delicious slightly warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or on their own.
