Chocolate Cherry Crumble
Ingredients
- 1 box brownie mix * see notes above for subs
- 1 cup rolled oats * see notes above for subs
- 10 tbsp melted butter * see notes above for subs
- ½ cup chocolate chips I use semi-sweet!
- 1 21oz cherry pie filling
Instructions
- First, preheat the oven to 350° F.
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine the brownie mix, rolled oats, chocolate chips, and melted butter together. The mix will look very dry and crumbly! It's perfect.
- Then, in a greased 8×8 inch pan, pour the cherry pie filling directly to the bottom of the pan. Spread into an even layer.
- Next, evenly sprinkle the crumble mixture on top of the cherry crumble.
- Finally, bake this baby for 30-35 minutes or until the edges are bubbly!
- Let cool for at least 10 minutes before serving! Enjoy with vanilla ice cream and whipped cream;) Keep any leftovers on the counter or fridge for up to 4 days!
Happy baking! Let me know how it turned out down below;)
