Choco Cherry Cherish

Mello this chocolate masterpiece out with a heaping scoop of vanilla ice cream a la mode.

Ingredients:

* 1 box devil's food cake mix
* Half box (3 oz size) of instant chocolate pudding
* 1 jar of maraschino cherries (12 set aside)
* 1 jar of caramel ice cream topping
* Half tub of coolwhip
* About 15 defrosted Oreos or chocolate cookies

Method

Prepare cake mix in half batches to result in two separate layers (8x8 foil lined pans). Let cool. While baking, prepare pudding, let set in refrigerator, chop rest of cherries and about 10 cookies roughly and add to pudding. Drizzle cherry juice on bottom layer of cake (leave in pan), and then spread on pudding. Level top layer with knife and invert onto bottom layer. Spread caramel sauce over top layer. Generously spread whipped topping over cake and sprinkle crumbled remaining cookies over top. Garnish each slice with a wiped cherry (so juice doesn't run) and set in refrigerator for 1/2-1 hour.

Number of servings: 12
