How to Make Chocolate Cherry Bars

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