Chocolate cherry dump cake variations

I just love the combination of chocolate and cherries together. It's always been my favorite, but there are some great ways to switch it up if you'd like.

Here are some great options:

• Pie filling- try experimenting with different kinds of pie fillings or use your favorite for a different spin.
• Cake mix- Any kind of cake mix will do so feel free to try whatever flavors you’d like.
• Toppings- None were added here, but adding whipped cream, nuts, coconut flakes or whatever else you can think of would be frantic additions, too.

Instructions

First, add the cans of cherry pie filling to the bottom of a baking dish and smooth out.

Now sprinkle the cake mix as evenly as you can over the cherry pie filling.

Next, using the back of a spoon, spread it out evenly.

Then, pour the butter over the cake mix.

Now, lift the baking dish and tilt it around until the butter spreads evenly on top of all of the cake mix.

Next, place the baking dish into the oven and bake for about 40 minutes, or until the cake is cooked all the way through and the sides are hot and bubbly.

Finally, let it cool slightly before serving and enjoy!
