Cherry Cake Brownies

These chewy, cherry brownies are incredibly easy to make. Mix together a chocolate cake mix, two eggs, a can of cherry pie filling, and a teaspoon of almond extract and bake. The easy chocolate chip icing adds the perfect finishing touch.

Recipe Ingredients:

Brownies:
1 (18.25-ounce) package chocolate cake mix
1 (21-ounce) can cherry pie filling
2 large eggs, slightly beaten
1 teaspoon almond extract

Chocolate Chip Icing:
1 cup granulated sugar
1/3 cup milk
5 tablespoons butter
1 cup (6 ounces) semisweet chocolate chips

Cooking Directions:

1. For Brownies: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease and flour a 13x9x2-inch baking pan.
2. In a large bowl, mix chocolate cake mix, cherry pie filling, beaten eggs and almond extract. Beat until well-blended. Pour into a prepared pan. Bake for 20 to 30 minutes, or until tested done. Remove from oven and cool completely on a wire rack.
3. For Chocolate Chip Icing: Bring sugar, milk and butter to a boil. Boil for about 1 minute, stirring constantly. Remove from the heat and add chocolate chips. Stir until the chocolate completely melts, then spread over the cooled brownie cake. Cut into bars to serve.
