Instructions
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9 x 13 inch baking pan.
- Open both cans of cherry pie filling. Quickly check the filling for any pits and remove if found. Dump the filling into the prepared pan and spread it evenly so the entire bottom is covered.
- Evenly sprinkle the entire box of dry chocolate cake mix over the cherries, covering them completely.
- Using the 3/4 cup unsalted butter cut into thin, small pats, distribute the pats evenly over the dry cake mix so most areas have butter on top.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 45 minutes, or until the cherry filling is bubbling around the edges.
- Remove from the oven and let sit a few minutes to cool slightly before serving. Serve warm on its own or with a scoop of ice cream and/or hot fudge sauce if desired.
