Make the Brownie Batter

Cup of Yum
1. Pour in all the chocolate chips to a large microwave-safe bowl. Heat the mixture in the microwave in 30-second increments to melt the chocolate, stirring after each session. Once all the chocolate is melted, the mixture is good to go.
2. Add the vegetable oil and measure the sugars into the melted chocolate. Stir until combined.
3. Crack the eggs into a small bowl, and break the yolks with a fork. Pour the eggs the chocolate and sugar mixture, along with the Dr Pepper, vanilla extract and maraschino cherry juice, into the chocolate mixture.
4. Sprinkle the flour, cocoa powder and salt into the wet ingredients. Stir until combined.
5. Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking dish.

Decorate, Bake and Serve Brownies

1. Place the halved maraschino cherries on top of the brownie batter in the pan. (Make a design with them or simply sprinkle them—I personally like lines because then every slice gets a bite or two of cherry!)
2. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the edges are firm and an inserted toothpick comes out clean.
3. Let cool for 20-30 minutes before slicing, and enjoy with a can of your favorite Dr Pepper.
