Say the word around any member of this family and you will garner an instant reaction and complete attention. Add the word brownie bar and you have them hook, line and sinker.
Paradise Cherries Whole, Red, 16 Ounce
But what if we pushed the envelope and made cherry chocolate bars?
Thanks to the colorful addition of both red and green candied cherries, these gooey gems of baked goodness are particularly decorative when set on your Holiday season dessert tray.

A brownie by any other name…should taste so good.
