Preparation
Step 1
Preheat oven to 350° F. Lightly grease bottom of a 13×9-inch baking pan with butter or shortening. Set aside.
Step 2
In small saucepan, combine dried cherries and 1/2 cup Cabernet Sauvignon. Bring to a boil and remove from heat. Set aside.
Step 3
In medium saucepan, stir 3/4 cup butter and baking chocolate over low heat until melted and smooth. Whisk in sugar. Then add eggs one at a time, whisking well after each addition. Stir in vanilla.
Step 4
In small bowl, stir together flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Stir dry mixture into chocolate mixture until combined. Fold in cherries and wine mixture.
Step 5
Spread batter in the prepared baking pan. Bake for 35 minutes, or until sides pull away from the pan. Cool completely, about 1 hour. Cut into 24 bars.
Chocolate scorches easily, so don’t be tempted to increase the heat in order to speed the melting process.
