CHERRY CHEESECAKE BROWNIE CUPS

Steps:

• For the base: Make the brownies according to the package instructions. Let cool and cut into 1/2-inch cubes.
• For the cherries: Combine the frozen cherries, wine, granulated sugar and cornstarch in a medium saucepan. Bring to a rolling boil then simmer for 2 to 3 minutes until the mixture thickens. Allow to cool for 30 minutes.
• For the cheesecake layer: Meanwhile, beat together the cream cheese, powdered sugar and vanilla with a hand mixer or in a food processor.
• Layer 1/2 cup of the brownie cubes into a 12-ounce stemless wine glass, mason jar or similar. Top with a large dollop of the whipped cream cheese mixture, using a spoon to create a well for the cherries. Spoon an eighth of the cherries into the well, top each with a sprig of mint if desired.

CHERRY AND SPICE BROWNIE BITES

Steps:

• Center a rack in the oven and preheat to 325F degrees. Line an 8" square baking pan with aluminum foil and butter the foil or use nonstick foil.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, salt and spices.
• Put a heatproof bowl over a saucepan of gently simmering water. Put the butter in the bottom of the bowl, then add the chopped chocolates. Heat, stirring occasionally, just until the ingredients are melted - don't get them so hot that the butter separates. Remove the bowl from the pan.
• Using a whisk, stir the sugars into the butter-chocolate mixture. Add the eggs, one at a time. Add the vanilla and the grated orange zest and whisk the mixture energetically. Gently mix in the dry ingredients, stirring only until they are incorporated. Switch to a rubber spatula and fold in the nuts and cherries. Turn the batter into the prepared pan and even the top with the spatula.
• Bake the brownies for about 25 minutes, or until the top no longer looks wet and a thin knife inserted into the center comes out clean. Place the pan on a rack and cool to room temperature.
• When the brownies are cool, turn them over onto the rack, peel away the foil, and invert them onto a cutting board. Using a ruler and a long, thin knife, cut the brownies into 1"x1" bites.
• Storage tips: Wellpwrapped and uncut, the brownies will keep at room temperature for 4 to 5 days; cut, they will keep for about 3 days. They can be frozen for up to 2 months.
