CHOCOLATE CHERRY BARS (RATED TOPS)

One package fude cake mix
21-ounce can cherry fruit filling
1 t almond extract
2 eggs, beaten

Frosting:
1 cup sugar
5 T butter or margarine
1/3 cup milk
1 6-ounce package (1 cup) semi-sweet chocolate pieces

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Using solid shortening or margarine (not oil) grease and flour 15X10" jelly roll or 13X9" pan.  In large bowl combine first four ingredients.  Stir by hand until well mixed.  Pour into prepared pan.  Bake jelly roll pan 20 to 30 minutes.  Bake 13X9" pan 25 to 30 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.  In small saucepan combine sugar, butter and milk.  Boil stirring constantly one minute.  Remove from heat.  Stir in chocolate pieces until smooth.  Pour over bars.  Makes about 3 dozen bars.

These are yummy, and the frosting is so moist.  I let the cake cool about 30 minutes before putting on the frosting.  It's more like a cake than a bar, so you will need plate and fork.  I saw people going back for another piece.
