Before I share this amazing recipe for these Cherry Cordial Brookie-wiches with you all, I have to make one teeny, tiny confession- I am actually not a fan of cherry cordials, aka chocolate covered cherries.










But the cherry cordial candies themselves have never been a favorite of mine. I think it is that gooey center that they have. No matter how I try to eat them, that super sweet filling always drips down onto my chin and/or my clothes and then I am just left feeling sticky.





I know you all know exactly what I am talking about here, right? ;)





But I do love the flavor of a cherry cordial.  How did I resolve this little dilemma of mine? I came up with these Cherry Cordial Brookiewiches, of course! 





A creamy (ahem, no-drip) maraschino cherry buttercream is sandwiched between two thick & fudgy brookies (Yes, folks. Brookies- the deliciousness that happens when a brownie meets a cookie.). These brookie-wiches are pretty much Valentine's Day dessert perfection...

I will be straight with you all- these Cherry Cordial Brookie-wiches are very rich and decadent.  One brookie-wich is perfect for sharing with your sweetie, your best friend, or one of your kiddos. 









Of course, I am not saying that you have to share. ;) I won't be able to blame you if you decide to enjoy an entire brookie-wich by yourself...
