Ok, I know, putting bacon on anything and everything possible is so 2012.  But look, I don't care, these are awesome.  

These brownies have the perfect balance of salty and sweet, as well as a gooey fudgey texture that really just makes them irresistible, like actually irresistible, like I ate seven of these. :/

Anyway, pitting the cherries is a real bitch but its worth it.  Canned cherries just won't cut it. They really won't.  Do what I did and set up your laptop in your kitchen with Scandal or How To Get Away With Murder (shout out to Shonda!! Love u!) and just start cutting these...
