Chocolate Cherry Bars

Chocolate Cherry Bars are a delectable dessert that will satisfy your sweet tooth. These bars are made with a rich chocolate base and topped with sweet cherries, making them the perfect combination of sweet and indulgent.

To make these Chocolate Cherry Bars, you will need the following ingredients per serving:

- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup cherry preserves
- 1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips

To start, preheat your oven to 350°F and line an 8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, and salt.
In a separate large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined. Gradually add in the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan. Spoon the cherry preserves over the top of the batter, spreading it out evenly. Sprinkle the chocolate chips over the cherry preserves.
Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the bars to cool completely in the pan before slicing and serving.
These Chocolate Cherry Bars are the perfect dessert for any occasion. They are rich, decadent, and full of flavor. The chocolate base is moist and fudgy, while the cherry preserves add a sweet and fruity flavor. The chocolate chips on top add a delicious crunch to every bite.
