Chocolate Cherry Bars (Adapted from Betty Crocker's Triple-Chocolate Cherry Bars)


This makes a devilishly delicious dessert. The only fat is in the mix. I used one with 4 grams of fat per serving, but some mixes only have 2.5 grams.

Ingredients:

I box chocolate fudge cake mix
1 can (21-ounce) cherry pie filling
2 eggs beaten (I use 1/2 cup egg substitute)
As much fat-free whipping cream as you want

1. Heat oven to 350 degrees (325 degrees for dark or nonstick pans).
2. Grease and flour pan (13X9) or pans.
3. In large bowl, gently mix cake mix, cherry pie filling and eggs. Carefully spread in pan.
4. Bake large pan for 30-35 minutes or 2 small pans for about 25-30 minutes.
5. Cool. Serve with fat free whipped topping (or frosting if you don't mind the fat).

The original recipe tells you to add a cup of miniature chocolate chips to the mix. It is delicious with them. But alas, I couldn't have my cake (with chocolate chips) and eat it too.
