These delicious squares are beyond easy to make, the preparation takes just a few minutes. Plus, the cherries in this recipe can be easily replaced with any seasonal fruit you wish to use.

We loved this recipe. I am sure I will make it again soon, and next time I might even add drops of cherry jam to the batter here and there. And some rum essence too, that could work very nicely. What do you think?

And here are all the details if you’d like to make the yummy Cherry and Chocolate squares too….

Enjoy!

With love,

Petra 🙂
