This recipe takes the Well and Good mud cake mix to a new level by adding dark chocolate and cherries. A sour cherry brownie is a yummy treat for school, the office or home. If you can get your hands on fresh cherries and reduce them in a saucepan with a little sugar and water you’ll have an amazing brownie; alternatively, go for a quicker option and just buy a jar of cherries from your local supermarket.
