CCC Brownies (coco,white choclate,cherries)

Recipe #31486

YIELDS: 16 squares (glass 8x8 pan)

COMMENT: After baking, top wasn't smooth, it had lumps. Sweet accdg to achi, texture was smooth denser than cake but not dense. I might have overbaked because the white chocolate chips i added didnt' melt in the oven, it even burn! When chilled, a bit denser, but not sticky dense.

CHANGES:
use margarine instead of butter. Bake around 32min = overbaked.
I topped the brownies with white chips instead of mixing into the batter. I omit cherries
