Brownies are one of my favorite treats but sometimes they are just to plain to serve for a special occasion.  I have the perfect solution for you. Try my foolproof layered brownies with cherry and chocolate.  It's elegant enough for a romantic evening, and versatile enough to spoil the kids with a grown-up dessert. Everyone will be impressed!
