Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease and flour a 9'' x 13'' pan.

In a large bowl, combine the cake mix, cherry pie filling, eggs, and almond extract. Stir until well blended. Pour the batter into the prepared pan.

Bake for 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cool.

Cut out the bars with a heart-shaped cookie cutter. Lightly drizzle cherry juice from the cherries along with the chocolate syrup on a dessert plate. Place the chocolate cherry bar in the center of the plate. Top the heart with a dollop of whipped cream and a cherry.
