Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 cups mini marshmallows
- 5 drops red food coloring (optional)
- 1 cup cherry pie filling
- 1 teaspoon almond extract
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
Instructions
In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the unsalted butter and granulated sugar together, stirring constantly until the sugar is dissolved.
Add the mini marshmallows to the saucepan and continue stirring until melted and smooth.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the red food coloring (if using), cherry pie filling, and almond extract. Mix well until combined.
Add the graham cracker crumbs to the saucepan and stir until fully incorporated.
Press the mixture evenly into a greased 9x13-inch baking dish, smoothing out the surface with a spatula or the back of a spoon.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips and vegetable oil. Microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring after each, until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.
Pour the melted chocolate over the cherry layer in the baking dish, spreading evenly to cover the top.
Refrigerate the dish for at least 2 hours, or until the bars are firm and the chocolate layer has set.
Once firm, cut the mixture into bars of your desired size. Serve chilled or at room temperature. Enjoy!
