1 (19.5 ounce) box traditional fudge brownie mix 1/2 cup vegetable oil 1/4 cup water 2 large eggs 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 1 cup semisweet chocolate morsels 1 envelope unflavored gelatin 1/4 cup cold water 1/3 cup boiling water 2 cups heavy whipping cream 2/3 cup sugar 1/2 cup chopped maraschino cherries 3 teaspoons maraschino cherry juice

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly grease a 15 by 10 by 1-inch jelly roll pan. In a large bowl, combine brownie mix, oil, water, eggs, and vanilla. Beat with a wooden spoon for 2 minutes. Stir in chocolate morsels. Pour batter into prepared pan. Bake 18 minutes; cool completely. Cut brownies using a 1 1/2-inch round cutter. Place on a serving tray; set aside. In a small bowl, soften gelatin in 1/4 cup cold water, let stand 2 minutes. Add 1/3 cup boiling water, stirring until gelatin dissolves. In a medium bowl, beat whipping cream with an electric mixer until foamy; gradually add sugar, beating until soft peaks form. Gently stir in gelatin mixture, cherries, and juice. Cover and chill 2 hours. To serve, pipe or spoon cherry mousse onto prepared brownies.
