This one is an absolute delight for those summer gatherings and cottage trips. I'd say if you love fudge brownies and Black Forest cake this one will be your favourite. It is aromatic, rich and fruity! The sweetness from the cherries and the bitterness from the dark chocolate compliments well together. It is a share it-all bite sized dessert and to top it off, it is very easy to make.
