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

Directions

Step 1

In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the unsalted butter and granulated sugar together, stirring constantly until the sugar is dissolved.

Step 2

Add the mini marshmallows to the saucepan and continue stirring until melted and smooth.

Step 3

Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the red food coloring (if using), cherry pie filling, and almond extract. Mix well until combined.

Step 4

Add the graham cracker crumbs to the saucepan and stir until fully incorporated.

Step 5

Press the mixture evenly into a greased 9x13-inch baking dish, smoothing out the surface with a spatula or the back of a spoon.

Step 6

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.

Step 7

Pour the melted chocolate over the cherry layer in the baking dish, spreading evenly to cover the top.

Step 8

Refrigerate the dish for at least 2 hours, or until the bars are firm and the chocolate layer has set.

Step 9

Once firm, cut the mixture into bars of your desired size. Serve chilled or at room temperature. Enjoy!
