Categories     Fruit

Yield 1 dish

Number Of Ingredients 11

Crumb mixture:
2 cups flour
1 1/2 cups sugar
2 cups uncooked quick oats
1 1/4 cups softened unsalted butter
Filling:
1 can (21 ounces) cherry pie filling
1 teaspoon almond extract
Drizzle:
1/2 cup real semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 Tablespoon shortening

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350. Combine all crumb mixture in large bowl. Beat at low speed until mixture resembles course crumbs. Research 1 1/2 cup crumb mixture. Press remaining mixture onto bottom of ungreased 13" x 9" baking pan. Bake for 15-20 minutes, until very lightly browned. Meanwhile, combine all filling ingredients in same bowl. Spread filling over hot, partially baked crust; sprinkle with remaining crumb mixture. Bake for 27-32 minutes or until lightly browned. Melt chocolate chips and shortening over low, heating and stirring constantly until smooth. Drizzle over bars and cool.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, ripe cherries for the best flavor and texture. If you can't find fresh cherries, you can use frozen or canned cherries, but be sure to drain them well before using.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will make the bars tough.
  • Be careful not to overbake the bars. They should be set in the center but still slightly soft.
  • Let the bars cool completely before cutting them. This will help to prevent them from falling apart.
  • Store the bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.

Conclusion:

Chocolate Drizzled Cherry Bars are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. They are made with a simple cherry filling and a rich chocolate drizzle, and they are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
