How to Make Chocolate Cherry Bars
- Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease an 8x8 inch baking pan.
- In a medium saucepan, melt margarine over medium-low heat.
- Remove from heat and stir in sugar until smooth and slightly cooled (about 2 minutes).
- Beat in the egg until well combined.
- Add cocoa powder, vanilla extract, baking powder, and baking soda. Stir until cocoa is fully incorporated (about 1 minute).
- Gradually add flour, mixing until just combined (about 1 minute). Do not overmix.
- Pour batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
- Top evenly with cherry pie filling.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes, then sprinkle chocolate chips over the top.
- Continue baking for another 8-10 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
