Ingredients

Directions

  1. Start by preheating your oven to 350°. Prepare a 13×9-in. baking pan by greasing it.
  2. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chopped chocolate and cubed butter, stirring until the mixture is smooth.
  3. In a separate large bowl, beat the eggs and sugar at high speed for 10 minutes. This process helps in incorporating air, making the brownies lighter.
  4. Gently stir in the vanilla extract and the smooth chocolate-butter mixture into the beaten eggs and sugar.
  5. Gradually add the flour to the mixture, stirring just enough to incorporate it. Be careful not to overmix.
  6. Fold in the chopped maraschino cherries into the batter.
  7. Spread the prepared batter evenly into the greased baking pan.
  8. Prepare the topping by beating the cream cheese until it’s smooth. Add in the mashed banana and strawberry preserves, mixing well.
  9. Add a lightly beaten egg to the cream cheese mixture, beating at low speed just until blended.
  10. Spread this creamy topping over the brownie batter in the pan, and sprinkle chopped salted peanuts over it.
  11. Bake the brownies until the topping sets and a toothpick inserted into the brownie portion comes out mostly clean, which should take about 40-45 minutes.
  12. Allow the brownies to cool completely on a wire rack before cutting them into bars. For an extra touch of flavor and visual appeal, garnish the bars with banana slices and additional cherries if desired.
