Cherry Chip Malted Brownies
Ingredients
- 2 6 oz. jars maraschino cherries without stems
- 3/4 C. butter, softened
- 1 13 oz. jar chocolate malted milk powder
- 3 eggs, beaten
- 1/2 tsp. almond extract
- 1 3/4 C. all purpose flour
- 1 12 oz. pkg. semi-sweet mini chocolate chips
- 1/2 C. confectioners' sugar, sifted
- 1 Tbs. butter, melted
Directions
Heat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 13x9 inch baking dish. Drain cherries, reserving liquid. Coarsely chop cherries. Set aside. In a large mixing bowl, beat softened butter on high for 30 seconds. Gradually add malted milk. Beat until mixture is crumbly. Beat in the eggs, 3 Tbs. reserved cherry liquid and the almond extract. Beat in the flour just until combined. Fold in chopped cherries and morsels.
Spread batter into the prepared baking dish. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until the center is set. Cool completely in pan on a wire rack. In a bowl, combine confectioners' sugar, melted butter, and enough reserved cherry liquid to achieve a drizzling consistency. Drizzle over brownies. Cut into bars.
