3/4 c. butter flavored Crisco
2 eggs
1/2 c. granulated sugar
1/4 c. brown sugar, packed
1 1/2 tsp. vanilla
1 tsp. almond extract
2 c. flour
1 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1 (21 oz.) can cherry pie filling
1 1/2 c. milk chocolate chips
Powdered sugar

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 15 1/2 x 10 1/2 x 1 inch pan with butter Crisco. Combine butter Crisco, eggs, sugar, brown sugar, vanilla and almond extract in large bowl. Beat at medium speed with mixer until well blended. Combine flour, soda and cinnamon. Mix into creamed mixture until just blended. Stir in pie filling and chocolate chips. Spread in pan. Bake 35 minutes or until lightly browned and top springs back when pressed. Cool and sprinkle with powdered sugar. Cut into bars. (You may want to test these while baking. I found that they needed a little longer baking time than the recipe called for to be completely baked in the middle.)
