Instructions

Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish to prevent sticking.
Layer Cherry Filling: Evenly spread the cherry pie filling across the bottom of the prepared baking dish, creating a juicy and flavorful base.
Add Cake Mix: Sprinkle the dry chocolate cake mix evenly over the cherry layer, covering it completely.
Drizzle Butter: Pour the melted unsalted butter evenly over the cake mix, which helps to moisten the dry mix and create a crumbly topping texture.
Top with Chocolate Chips: Scatter the semi-sweet chocolate chips over the top for extra chocolaty richness and texture.
Bake: Place the dish in the oven and bake for 45-50 minutes until the top is golden brown and the cherry filling is bubbly.
Cool and Serve: Allow the cake to cool slightly before serving, so the layers set and the dessert becomes easier to slice and enjoy.

Notes

You can substitute cherry pie filling with other fruit fillings to customize the dessert.
Using cold butter and cutting it into pieces instead of melted can create a different crumb topping texture.
Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for an indulgent treat.
Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, reheat gently before serving.
