Meanwhile, place 2/3 cup chocolate chips and the whipping cream in large microwavable bowl. Microwave uncovered on High 2 to 3 minutes, stirring with wire whisk every minute, until chocolate is melted. Stir until mixture is smooth. Cover; refrigerate about 1 to 1 1/2 hours or until chilled and set.
Stir frosting into chilled cream mixture. Beat with electric mixer on high speed 1 to 2 minutes or until well blended and soft peaks form. Spoon into serving dish.
Remove brownie from pan by lifting foil; peel away foil. Cut brownie into 4 rows by 4 rows, making 16 squares. Cut each square in half diagonally to make 32 triangles. Arrange on serving plate.
To set up Build-a-Brownie serving bar, arrange brownies and frosting mixture along with small knives for spreading frosting on brownies. In small bowls, place baking bits, miniature chips and cherries for topping brownies.
