Preparation

Step 1

Prepare the pudding & brownies according to the directions on the package. Let brownies cool.


Drain the cherries, reserving the liquid and 8 cherries for garnishing. Rough chop the remaining cherries. Crumble about half of the brownies into a bowl, sprinkle on the cherry brandy, and mix gently.

With a knife, shave the chocolate bar into thin shavings. Set aside.


Lightly crumble the Amaretto cookies. Set aside.


With all of the ingredients organized, begin layering them in the glasses. Start with the brownie mixture, followed by the whipped topping and chopped cherries. Drizzle on some cherry syrup. Repeat the same 4 layers again. Finish with chocolate pudding on top. Garnish with crumbled cookies, chocolate shavings, and a cherry.
