In a 3-quart saucepan, combine the semi-sweet chocolate and oil and heat over very low heat until melted. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.
In a another mixing bowl, combine the sugar, eggs and vanilla until blended. Add in the chocolate mixture. The remaining dry ingredients should be slowly sifted in, and mix until combined.
Spoon the batter into a mini cupcake pan sprayed with no stick cooking spray.
Bake the brownie bites for about 15 minutes at 350?F, or until the batter just starts to pull away from the edges of the pan.
Let the brownie bites cool for a few minutes in the pan, then gently press a chocolate covered cherry candy into the center of each.
Let the brownies cool before you try to remove them from the pan.
