"As I ate the oysters with their strong taste of the sea and their faint metallic taste that the cold white wine washed away, leaving only the sea taste and the succulent texture, and as I drank their cold liquid from each shell and washed it down with the crisp taste of the wine, I lost the empty feeling and began to be happy, and to make plans."--Ernest Hemingway

Ingredients:  
Ingredients:  
1 pkg. chocolate fudge cake mix
1 can cherry pie filling (21 oz.)
2 eggs, beaten
1 tsp. almond extract or vanilla
Hint: I add 1½ tsp. baking powder at the lower elevation as it helps them to raise more.


Frosting:

1 cup sugar
⅓ cup milk
5 tbsp. butter
1 cup chocolate chips (mini chips work better)
Directions:
Directions:
In mixing bowl, beat eggs. Stir in dry cake mix (can use mixer). Will be very thick. Hand stir in cherry pie filling and vanilla. Add baking powder. Stir.

For Bars: Bake at 350º in greased jelly roll pan about 20-25 minutes until toothpick comes out clean.

For Cake: Bake at 350º in greased 9x13 cake pan 30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.


Frosting:

Bring sugar, milk, and butter to a boil and boil for 1½ minutes. Remove from heat and stir in chocolate chips. Stir until chips are melted and pour over hot cake or bars and spread. Frosting will harden as it cools.

Hint: I put the pan (bars only) on some aluminum foil after baking (folded up around the sides) as many times the frosting will run over the sides.
