"From scratch start to finish and completely well worth the effort! These brownies taste amazing with a combination of caramel and dried cherry jam. I got this from Bon Appetite Mag. I say try it as is to start and make changes from there-I love adding walnuts or using a different dried fruit, even a little cayenne makes it interesting."

I'm so glad to find this recipe here! I used it years ago from Bon Apettit, I made it over and over and loved it every time. Sadly I lost the recipe, and have been missing it for years. Thank you to CharityAnn for posting it on this website. It will once again be my go to brownie recipe.
