Berry Swirled Fudge Brownies
Sunday, February 13, 2011
The ingredients:
3/4 cup butter, melted
1/2 cup cocoa
1-1/2 cups sugar
3 eggs
1-1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 tsp. salt
1/2 cup walnuts or pecans, chopped, optional (we omitted the nuts)
heaping 1/3 cup cranberry sauce or other type of berry jam/preserve
1/2 cup chocolate chips, for topping
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease and line a 9x13 inch baking pan (for thin brownies) or an 8x8 inch pan (for thicker brownies) with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, add cocoa powder to melted butter. Add sugar and mix well. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in vanilla, flour and salt. Do not overbeat. Fold in nuts (if desired).
Spread in prepared pan, drop cranberry sauce/preserves by the spoonful over top and use a knife to swirl into batter.
Bake (9x13) 28-30 minutes, (8x8) 36-38 minutes. Cool on wire racks. Melt half the chocolate in a small saucepan or in the microwave, remove from heat and stir in the remainder of the chocolate until melted. Drizzle over top using a spoon or a baggie with the corner cut off. Remove to cutting board and cut into squares, wiping knife clean after each cut.
Enjoy!

Wow, these look wonderful. Brownies are my absolute favorite and I bet it won't take me long to get to these. I think they would be wonderful with some raspberry jam.
