Dried Cherry-Hazelnut Brownies

As a thank you present for repairing our oven, I made these out of Ripe for our neighbor. I've been longing to make something (anything!) out of my new book and this was the only thing I had all the ingredients for.

I liked them when I first made them on Sunday but we finished them off last night and the hazelnuts overpowered the taste of eveything, even the chocolate. I do want to try them again but with more fruit (the recipe only calls for 1/3 cup) and less nuts (1 whole cup is too much). I want to make it with almonds too and see how that turns out. It was super easy and required minimal clean up (yay!).

What's your favorite brownie recipe?
