CHOCOLATE CHERRY CAKE

CHOCOLATE CHERRY BARS
These are Lisa's favorite bars and one of my favorites too.  My family loves them.  Took them to EPM for Valentine's Day.  They disappeared very quickly.  I like to cut them in serving sizes, wrap in saran wrap and freeze them.  Let them slightly defrost before eating.  Yum!

1      package  Pillsbury + Chocolate Devils Food Cake Mix
21    ounces cherry pie filling
1      teaspoon almond extract
2      eggs -- beaten

---Frosting---
1      cup sugar
5      tablespoons   butter or margarine
1/3  cup  milk
1      cup chocolate chips

Heat oven to 350F. Grease and flour 15x10" jelly roll pan or a 13x9" 
pan. In large bowl, combine first four ingredients. Stir by hand until 
well mixed. Pour into pan. Bake 15x10" pan for 20-30 minutes or a 13x9" 
pan for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes 
out clean. In small saucepan, combine sugar, butter and milk. Bring to 
boil, stirring constantly, and let boil for 1 minute. Remove from heat 
and stir in chocolate chips until smooth. Pour over warm bars. Cool until 
frosting is set and cut into bars. Makes about 3 dozen.

NOTES : This recipe is from my great-aunt, Gloria Zehr of Gouverneur, 
NY. It is definitely a Tried-N-True (TNT) recipe and is without a doubt 
a keeper. Kudos to my Aunt Gloria for an excellent recipe !
