No Bake Chocolate Cherry Brownies
Cooking Steps
Begin by covering raisins and dried cherries with hot water. Use just enough hot water to cover the dried fruit. Let soak for 5-10 minutes and DON’T DRAIN… You’ll use the soaking water (approx. 1/3 cup) in an upcoming step!
Place coconut in food processor. Process on high until very finely ground. Add the remaining dry ingredients (cocoa, cinnamon, and salt) and process until combined.
Now add the wet ingredients: Vanilla and almond extracts, Sunbutter, honey if desired, and raisins and cherries + soaking water. Process on high until a large mass is formed. If dough is crumbly, you may need to add approximately 1 Tbsp additional liquid as noted above.
Turn dough into a 7 ¾ x 7 ¾ square pan or a loaf pan. Press dough evenly into pan. Sprinkle mini chocolate chips and chopped dried cherries on top and press them lightly into the dough. Chill, then cut into squares. Serve cold or at room temp (I like them cold)!

Looks absolutely beautiful! I would love to try some.
Would it be possible to use almond butter instead of Sunbutter?
Lauren: I would think so. I haven’t made it yet, but I would assume that any nut butter should be fine, though I might alter the taste a teeny bit.
I’m just waiting to get to the store to pick up some missing ingredients, then it’s being made, and savoured. I do so miss my CW brownies.
