• For an extra burst of cherry flavor, you can add a teaspoon of cherry extract to the brownie batter.
• To make the brownie bars even more indulgent, you can drizzle melted white chocolate over the top of the ganache.

Storage and Serving

• Store the Cherry Ripe Brownie Bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
• These brownie bars are delicious on their own, but you can also serve them with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra special treat.
