This was found on the recipe site of Dierberg's grocery store. A friend made it and said it was very good although did not come close to filling her trifle bowl. I made this for a co-worker's birthday, doubling the recipe, the doubled amount fit my trifle bowl perfectly. The dessert disappeared very quickly too!
Ingredients:
1 (15 7/8 ounce) box brownie mix
1 (14 1/2 ounce) can pitted tart cherries, drained reserving liquid
1/4 cup sugar
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
8 drops red food coloring
1 (3 1/2 ounce) box instant white chocolate pudding and pie filling mix

Directions:
1. Prepare brownie batter according to directions for cake-like brownies. Bake in 8 inch square pan; cool.

3. Remove from heat; stir in cherries and food color.
4. Cool completely.
