Cherry Chocolate Brownies

This makes a very pretty gift for neighbors or for a dessert for any dinner or party.

1 pkg brownie mix
1 jar (16 oz) maraschino cherries, undrained
1 1/2 pkgs (12 oz) cream cheese, softened
3 Tbsp powdered sugar
1 container (12 oz) frozen whipped topping, thawed
1-2 Tbsp semi-sweet chocolate chips (or any chocolate bar)

Bake brownie according to pkg instructions. Cool. Mix cream cheese with powdered sugar. Add whipped topping, mix well. Chop 8-10 cherries, add to cream cheese mixture. Spread over top of brownie. Arrange rest of cherries on top. Grate chocolate and sprinkle over top of brownie. It is really pretty if you use some red and some green cherries for a Christmas dessert.
