Chocolate Cherry Bars
       Submitted by Wray Nell Mosier

  •  1 Pkg. Fudge Cake Mix
  • 21-Oz. Can Cherry Pie Filling
  • 1 tsp Almond Extract
  • 2 Eggs, beaten

 Frosting:

  • 1 cup Sugar
  • 5 Tablespoons Butter or Margarine
  • 1/3 Cup Milk
  • 6-Oz. Pkg. (1 Cup) Semi-sweet Chocolate Pieces
  • 1 tsp Almond Extract

Preheat oven to 350°. Using solid shortening or margarine, not oil, (I use spray), grease and flour a 15x10 inch jelly roll pan or 13x9 inch pan. In large bowl, combine first 4 ingredients. By hand, stir until well mixed. Pour into prepared pan. Bake jelly roll pan 20 to 30 min., and the 13x9 inch pan 25 to 30 min. or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.
 
While bars (cake) cools, prepare frosting. In small saucepan, combine sugar, butter and milk. Stirring constantly, bring to boil for one minute. Remove from heat; stir in chocolate pieces until smooth. Pour over partially cooled bars/cakes.
**Makes about 3 dozen bars.
