Little cherry & chestnut chocolate brownies

Brownies are absolutely gorgeous. I've used cherries and chestnuts in mine – although it may not seem like the most obvious pairing, the chocolate makes them friends and I think they complement each other well. Arrange on boards or plates around the room for people to pick at; there won't be any left over!
