This is one of my favs it is so good don't know who created it. I usually use soaked raisins because it is hard to find sun-dried cherries and no extract or some orange zest. Also test the date level to make sure it is to your sweetness
Black Forest Cherry Brownies
4 cups soaked and dehydrated walnuts (Soak 2 ½ cups for 36 hours, rinsing every 12 hours. dehydrating is optional.)
¾ cup packed pitted dates
¾ cup raw carob powder
2 tsp. cherry extract
½ cup coarsely chopped walnuts or almonds (soaked and dehydrated for best results)
½ cup dried cherries or raisins
Puree 4 cups walnuts in a food processor until it becomes a fine meal. Add dates and continue to puree until well mixed. Add carob and cherry extract and puree again. Mix in the chopped nuts and cherries by hand. Press into a 9" square brownie pan. Refrigerate and slice. Serve with fresh sliced strawberries or raspberries or use frozen berries.
Will last for weeks in your refrigerator or freezer.
