Triple-Chocolate Cherry Bars
I was not planning on making anything special for Valentine’s Day this year, but then Betty Crocker sent this recipe to me today. How can I resist this? Doesn’t it look great?

This recipe looks very easy to make. The recipe calls for it to be made into bars, but I’m thinking I may try making it into cupcakes instead.
It also gives the option of using strawberry pie filling instead of the cherry. That sounds really good to me, too. I think I’m going to have a tough decision to make on deciding if I want cherry or strawberry pie filling.
Triple-Chocolate Cherry Bars
| 1 | box Betty Crocker® SuperMoist® chocolate fudge cake mix |
| 1 | can (21 oz) cherry pie filling |
| 2 | eggs, beaten |
| 1/2 | bag (12-oz size) miniature semisweet chocolate chips (1 cup) |
| 1 | container Betty Crocker® Whipped chocolate frosting. |
Directions
Heat oven to 350°F (325°F for dark or nonstick pan). Grease and flour 15×10x1-inch or 13×9-inch pan, or spray with baking spray with flour.
In large bowl, gently mix dry cake mix, pie filling, eggs and chocolate chips with rubber scraper; break up any undissolved cake mix by pressing with scraper. Carefully spread in pan.
Bake 15×10x1-inch pan 25 to 30 minutes, 13×9-inch pan 35 to 40 minutes, or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool completely, about 1 hour. Frost with frosting. For bars, cut into 8 rows by 6 rows.
My mother used to make these when I was little - sooo many years ago! They’re MARvelous!
