Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.
Spread the cherry pie filling evenly across the bottom of the baking dish.
Add the crushed pineapple on top of the cherry pie filling, spreading it evenly.
Sprinkle the dry chocolate cake mix evenly over the fruit layers. Do not mix it in—just spread it gently to cover the fruit entirely.
Melt the butter in a microwave-safe dish or on the stovetop and pour it evenly over the cake mix layer.
Sprinkle the chocolate chips evenly on top of the butter layer.
Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 40–45 minutes, or until the top is bubbly and golden brown.
Remove the dish from the oven and let it cool for at least 10 minutes before serving.
Serve warm on its own or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra treat.
