Ingredients: 1/2 cup butter, softened; 3/4 cup sugar; 2 large eggs; 2 tablespoons corn syrup; 1-1/2 teaspoons almond extract; 2/3 cup all-purpose flour; 1/3 cup baking cocoa; 1/4 teaspoon baking powder; 1/3 cup chopped maraschino cherries; 1/3 cup coarsely chopped almonds; 1 cup white baking chips; Whipped topping and maraschino cherries with stems, optional

A brownie is about as American as you can get, and I make this special dessert only on Independence Day. Why settle for just a square when you can have a whole slice? Pair it with a glass of ice-cold milk for a refreshing treat. —Edie DeSpain, Logan, Utah

Ingredients

1/2 cup butter, softened
3/4 cup sugar
2 large eggs
2 tablespoons corn syrup
1-1/2 teaspoons almond extract
2/3 cup all-purpose flour
1/3 cup baking cocoa
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/3 cup chopped maraschino cherries
1/3 cup coarsely chopped almonds
1 cup white baking chips
Whipped topping and maraschino cherries with stems, optional

Directions

In a small bowl, cream butter and sugar. Add the eggs, corn syrup and extract; mix well. Combine the flour, cocoa and baking powder. Add to creamed mixture and mix well. Drain chopped cherries on paper towels. Fold the cherries, almonds and chips into batter.
Transfer to a greased and floured 9-in. pie plate. Bake at 325° for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack. Garnish with whipped topping and cherries if desired.

liked the extra ingredients - cherries, chips, nuts - didn't care for the texture, a little dry, so i served it with a dab of raspberry sauce.

Karo Corn Syrup is NOT High Fructose...this is my choice as it is not processed to that stage of high fructose.

This recipe contains not only sugar but high fructos corn syrup. Outrageous. A good brownie recipe does not need all that sugar.

I made these one night for my husband....needless to say, this is the only brownie he wants. When we go to friends gatherings, he always suggests I make these. People are always asking for the recipe.Absolutely delightful !!
