Instructions
Melt chocolate
Preheat oven to 325 F. Line 13”x9” baking pan with enough foil to overhang sides by 2”; coat with cooking spray.
In a pot combine 1 ⅓ cup chocolate chips, butter and unsweetened chocolate; over low heat, cook, stirring, until melted and smooth.
Remove from heat and let cool for 5 minutes.
Make Brownies
In small bowl, combine ¼ cup flour and remaining ⅔ cup chocolate chips; reserve.
Combine remaining ½ cup flour with baking powder and salt; reserve.
In large bowl, whisk together granulated sugar, eggs, coffee granules and vanilla; stir into melted chocolate mixture until just combined.
Stir in flour mixture until just blended. Stir in chocolate chip mixture, then cherries. Spread in pan.
Bake 50-55 minutes or until toothpick inserted into center comes out with moist crumbs clinging. Cool in pan on rack 1 hour. It will firm up.
Refrigerate uncovered until completely cooled, about 2 hours.
Dip Cherries
Meanwhile, lay piece of wax paper on work surface. Thoroughly blot dry 12 cherries with paper towels.
Melt candy melts. One at a time, dip cherries halfway into candy melts; place on wax paper to day.
Whip up Frosting
Remove stems for remaining ⅓ cup cherries. Chop and blot dry with paper towels.
On medium, beat together butter, confectioners’ sugar, milk and almond extract until smooth; 3-4 minutes.
Stir in chopped cherries. Using foil, lift brownies from pan; spread frosting over top.
Cut into bars; garnish with chocolate-dipped cherries.
