# Instructions:

Prepare the cake per the directions on the back of the box. Once it is done baking, place it on the counter and let it cool for 5 minutes.
02 -
Take a spoon or utensil with a wooden handle and poke holes into the cake all over about 2 inches apart.
03 -
Add the cherry Jell-O and boiling water to a large, heatproof bowl and whisk until the gelatin is dissolved. Add the cold water to the bowl and whisk to combine.
04 -
Pour the Jell-O all over the cake, focusing on the holes the most. Place the cake into the fridge for 2 hours.
05 -
Carefully spread the cherry pie filling over the cake. There are big chunks of cherries in the filling, so try and space them out so you get some on each slice.

Spread the whipped topping on top of the cake and place it in the fridge for at least another hour to chill.
07 -
Garnish with mini chocolate chips and maraschino cherries if using. Slice, serve, and enjoy!
