Black Forest Crumb Bars


(Photo by Lorinda F)

1 box chocolate cake mix
1 can cherry pie filling
2 1/2 c. rolled oats
3/4 c. butter, melted
1/3 c. shredded coconut flakes
chopped nuts, optional

Preheat oven to 375°. Coat pan with cooking spray. Bigger pan makes thinner bars. Smaller pan, 8x8, makes thicker bars. So you choose!
Mix dry cake mix, coconut and oats in large bowl. Stir in the melted butter. Mix well until dry cake mix is completely blended and the mixture is moist from butter.

Press 1/2 of mixture into prepared pan. Be sure to press firmly to pack it well.

Spread cherry pie filling evenly over top of packed mixture.
Pour remaining mixture over pie filling and press to pack well. Don't push hard enough to squish the pie filling out though.
Bake 20 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to COMPLETELY cool before cutting into bars.

Makes 12 bars (2 1/2" x 2 1/2") or 24 bars (1" x 2 1/2")
