Instead of cherry chips you can mince dried marishino to add to the mixture. I have also used sugar free cherry jello that gives the mix a beautiful color and taste. five stars

This recipe worked well for me! I made a chocolate layer on the bottom. My mother made this recipe each year when I was growing up and added teh bottom layer. I think that's the key to this recipe. five stars

This is a great recipe. I love it, my family loves it. though I could not find cherry chips I replaced them with mint chips in one batch and peanut butter chips in another batch. Both turned out super good. five stars
