List of Ingredients




2/3 cup dried tart cherries, chopped
3/4 cup flour
1/3 cup golden raisins
1 cup walnuts, chopped
3 eggs
1 1/2 cups firmly packed brown sugar
3/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips


Recipe



1 Preheat the oven to 350°F and spray a 10-inch by 10-inch pan with nonstick spray.
2 Toss the dried cherries with 1 tablespoon of flour. Add the raisins and walnuts and set aside.
3 Place the eggs in a mixing bowl and whip them with an electric mixer until frothy. Gradually add the brown sugar and continue whipping until the mixture is thick, about 5 minutes.
4 Combine the flour, baking powder and salt in a separate bowl and fold it into the egg mixture. Fold in the fruit and nut mixture.
5 Spread the batter into the prepared pan and bake until golden brown and springy to the touch, about 20 minutes. Let cool.
6 Melt the chocolate in the microwave on low power so that it does not burn for about 30 seconds. Stir until the chocolate is pourable.
7 Cut the cherry and walnut mixture into bars, drizzle each one with chocolate and refrigerate until the chocolate is set. Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
