This was a fun, different recipe. I made it for my husband to bring to work on halloween when he dressed up as a Grease "Pink Lady." I only put the 2 Tablespoons of cherry juice in the frosting. Interestingly kids said it was very cherry-y, but most adults just got a hint of cherry. They were very pretty and not hard to make. A little goes a long way.

I made these the way the recipe directed. They were extremely sweet. I love sweets normally, but these were almost too much for me, even after cutting them into tiny squares. The chocolate layer is very rich, but the icing makes them overwhelming.

These are like every girl's dream! For the icing, I added a little extra powdered sugar and skipped the butter- These are rich enough already

Made these as per the recipe and they were great. Did cut back a tiny bit on the cherry juice and placed a half a pitted FRESH cherry on top of each square. If I had a nice pitter, I would use the whole cherry with stem for presentation. ALSO made the same recipe using the grated rind of one fresh orange in the "crust" Omitted the cherry juice and frosted with orange buttercream frosting and a dusting or cocoa powder insead of chocolate drizzle--this cut the overwhelming sweetness and got raves too.

These came out better than I expected - rich, but not too sweet. I doubled the recipe and cooked them in a 9"x13" Pyrex. I cut them into 1" squares and it was just enough without being overwhelming. The chocoholics just went back for seconds! Definitely refrigerate before cutting, but not too long or it will be impossible to get the knife through the fudge. I also cut back on the cherry juice or the icing would have been too soft. Very indiscernible cherry flavor, so if you're looking for more, you may need to add something to boost it. Will definitely be making these for the holidays!

These sounded so interesting to me...and I wasn't dissapointed. Easy to prepare, look pretty and sinfully sweet. I agree with other reviewers that said a small piece goes a long way...very rich, but good. Only changes I made was to "wing it" making the frosting. I added the juice, but also finely chopped some cherries to kick up the cherry flavour. Also added a tiny bit of almond extract. Excellent recipe...Thanks!

I made 3 different cookies for Valentine's day trays and this by far was the most liked, many people asked for the recipe. I used the 8x8 but I lined it with parchment paper and it worked perfectly. I followed all of the other directions with two excpetions, the first I used about 1/3 cup of white choc chips in place of all choc. and lastly I added about 1/3 of a cup of chopped candied cherries to the frosting. Quick, easy and delicious!

These were great! I didnt have an 8x8 pan and so I used an 11x7 pan as all recipes suggests in their pan conversion article. The crust and fudge layer was perfect for this but I found with substituting the pan size I needed to double the icing. It worked out well with getting to use the first batch as a crumb coating anyway. The office and family loved it!

I'm giving this 5 stars because my guys really liked them. They are basically a chocolate crust with a solid 'hot fudge' layer and a cherry icing. Just a bit much for me and I have a terrible sweet tooth. I think if I made them again, I would double the crust or halve the fudge and the icing. I was trying to figure out how I could increase the cherry flavor....I thought about putting a cherry half on each piece, but they are so rich you have to cut them too small for that. If I made these again, I would use them on a cookie tray and not by themselves.

Creamy, fudgey, rich and sinfully good. Be forewarned, you'll think you're skimping when you cut these into itty bitty bars, but a little of this goes a long way! I made these just as the recipe directed, but found I only needed 2-1/2 T. of the cherry juice in the frosting to get the consistency I wanted. I chilled the baked bars briefly before cutting them, just long enough for them to set and be somewhat firm. So, so pretty, and perfect for Valentine's Day! Too few cooks have made these--I hope you'll give these a try!

I served these at a bridal shower where everything was pink. They were a huge hit with over 30 guests!Everyone thought it was such a unique recipe and reminded them of chocolate covered cherries. I cut them in to little tiny (like petite fours) squares because they are so rich. I did follow the advice of another reviewer and put them in the fridge before cutting and unfortunately, this made them hard as a rock and really hard to cut. If you choose to do this, make sure you let the pan sit out for a little bit so they are easier to cut!

This is a very pretty dessert bar. I followed directions & it turned out beautiful. I didn't add the chocolate icing though. These are very very sweet, so cut the bars tiny!

I should have used my good judgment and not put the full amount of cherry juice in the icing because it made it too soft. This made them hard to cut nicely, and would make transport difficult if you're planning to take them somewhere, as I was. I thought the cherry flavor was too weak, and perhaps putting some chopped cherries in the icing would make them better. But they're still pretty good and I ate way too many!
