1 (18.25 ounce) box red velvet cake mix½ cup water½ cup sour cream1 (3.9 ounce) package instant chocolate fudge pudding mix1 (21 ounce) can cherry pie filling1 cup semisweet chocolate chips

Instructions

Prepare and Mix Batter

Start by greasing the inside of your slow cooker to make sure the cake doesn’t stick. In a bowl, mix together the cake mix, eggs, water, sour cream, and chocolate pudding mix using a hand mixer until the batter is nice and smooth. Gently fold in the cherry pie filling and chocolate chips, then pour everything into the prepared slow cooker. Set it to low and let it cook until the center is set, which should take about 4 hours. Once done, you can let it cool a bit before serving. Enjoy!
