These brownies are incredibly easy to make and just as good. Take a box of chocolate cake mix, throw in two eggs, a can of cherry pie filling and a teaspoon of almond extract and bake! And their topped with a just-as-easy frosting made with chocolate chips, too!

Cherry Cake Brownies

1 (18.25-ounce) package chocolate cake mix
1 teaspoon almond extract
1 (21-ounce) can cherry pie filling
2 large eggs
1 cup granulated sugar
5 tablespoons butter
1/3 cup milk
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips

1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease and flour a 13 x 9-inch baking pan.
2. In a large bowl, mix chocolate cake mix, almond extract, cherry pie filling and beaten eggs. Beat until well-blended. Pour into a prepared pan. Bake for 20 to 30 minutes. Remove from oven and cool.
3. For the frosting, bring sugar, butter and milk 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.

Makes 16 bars.
