Cherry And Chocolate Brownies

A decadent delight i found in a march 2005 issue of 'fresh' magazine. This was a reader's recipe from sharon johnston, mount crosby, queensland (australia). there is a photograph on the same page as the recipe, and sharon looks about 10 years old. The page bore the heading 'a slice of heaven.' i considered adding nuts to the recipe, but decided to leave it exactly as it was. nuts would be the obvious addition here, possibly instead of the coconut. Or perhaps 1/2 cup of coconut and 1/2 cup chopped macadamia nuts. hope you enjoy sharon's slices of heaven!!
