  1. For the cherry sauce, bring all ingredients to a boil in a medium saucepan. Reduce heat to medium low and simmer until cherries start to soften and release juices (8-10 minutes). Transfer cherries to a heatproof bowl and set aside. Remove half of the cherries and when cool enough puree them in a blender or processor, then put back in the bowl. Simmer the remaining juices until it thickens. Pour over cherries, and let cool.
  2. For brownies In a medium bowl, stir together eggs, sugar, vanilla, and butter with a wooden spoon. Sift chocolate, flour, baking powder and salt together in a separate bowl then add to the butter/egg mixture. Stir in chocolate chips and speed into prepared baking dish. Bake for 25-30 minutes. Cool and cut into bite size squares.
  3. To assemble, place 2-3 brownie bites on the bottom of the glass, drizzle about a tablespoon of cherry sauce, then add whipped cream. Repeat layers. Garnish with fresh cherries.
