Chocolate Cherry Bars

Brielle Tran

Report

Rich, fudge brownies stuffed with cherry flavor and topped with a homemade chocolate icing! They are super easy to make because they started with a boxed cake mix.

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease and flour a 15" x 10" jelly roll pan. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl combine cake mix, cherry pie filling, almond extract and eggs together using a stand mixer or electric mixer until completely mixed. Pour into prepared pan.
Bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 20-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into middle of brownies comes out clean.
As soon as you take the bars out of the oven prepare icing. In a saucepan boil sugar, butter and milk for 1 minute then add chocolate chips. Stir until chips are melted. Spread on warm bars.
Let bars cool completely and icing harden before cutting.

Notes

These don't typically last too long in our house, but if you happen to have leftovers you can store them for a few days! Make sure the bars are completely cooled to room temperature, then cover the tightly with the pan cover or wrap them in plastic wrap or foil.
Store at room temperature for 2-3 days.
