Germany might take credit for the luscious combo of chocolate, whipped topping and cherries, but this cheesecake version owes its creaminess to the City of Brotherly Love.

## Ingredients

- 3 Tbsp. butter, melted
- 4 pkg. (8 oz. each) brick cream cheese, softened

- 1½ pkg. (4 oz. each) semi-sweet baking chocolate (6 oz.), melted

- 1 can (21 oz.) cherry pie filling

## Directions

1. Heat oven to 325ºF.
2. Line 13x9-inch pan with foil, with ends of foil extending over sides. Mix cookie crumbs and butter; press firmly onto bottom of pan. Bake 10 min.
