A decadent twist on our Dark Chocolate Brownies. These Cherry Pecan Dark Chocolate Brownies are a true dark chocolate lover’s brownie. They are dense, cakey, and intensely chocolatey — made extra special with the addition of dried cherries and chopped pecans.
Preparation
2. In a large bowl, mix together the melted butter, sugar, vanilla, and cocoa together with a wooden spoon or rubber spatula. Add the eggs and the yolk one at a time, stirring vigorously after each one. The batter should be thick and shiny. Stir in the yogurt, until well blended. Add the flour and mix well until completely absorbed. Stir in chocolate chips, soaked cherries and pecans.
3. Evenly spread the batter into the prepared baking pan. The batter will be very thick. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick comes out with a few pieces of the batter on it, but not raw. Do not over cook, or your brownie will be dry. It should not cook longer than 35 minutes. Remove from the oven and immediately use the overhang to lift the brownie out of the baking pan and onto a cutting board. Allow to cool and cut into 16 square pieces. Enjoy!

Ann’s Tips and Tricks
If you can’t find dried cherries, use prunes instead. If they are large, chop them up after soaking.
Always remember that eating high calorie desserts should be an occasional treat, not a habit!
