Equipment

  • 1 9" x 13" baking dish or pan

Ingredients
  

  • 1 box chocolate cake mix
  • 1 21-ounce can cherry pie filling
  • 1 cup butter melted
  • 1/2 cup crushed peppermint candies

Instructions
 

  • Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). While it’s warming up, you can gather all your ingredients and get ready to create something magical.
  • Grease a 9” x 13” baking dish with butter or non-stick spray. This will help prevent the cake from sticking and make for an easy clean-up later.
  • Spread the entire can of cherry pie filling evenly across the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Make sure it’s spread out nicely so every bite gets some of that fruity goodness.
  • Sprinkle the dry chocolate cake mix evenly over the cherry pie filling. Do not stir or mix it in—just let it sit right on top.
  • Drizzle the melted butter evenly over the cake mix. This is what will give you that rich, buttery crust on top. Again, no stirring needed.
  • Finally, sprinkle the crushed peppermint candies evenly over the top of the cake. This will add that festive peppermint flavor and a bit of crunch to the cake.
  • Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the top is bubbly and golden brown. The edges should be slightly crisp, and the peppermint candies will have melted into a delightful layer of flavor.
  • Allow the cake to cool for about 10-15 minutes before serving. This will help the layers set a bit, making it easier to slice and serve.
  • Optional Toppings: For an extra festive touch, top each serving with a dollop of whipped cream and a sprinkle of extra crushed peppermint candies.
