    Recipe



    Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

    Cut cookie dough in half crosswise. Cut each section in half lengthwise. With floured fingers, press dough into bottom of ungreased 13 x 9-inch pan to form base. Bake for 12 to 16 minutes or until light golden brown. Remove from oven. Cool 45 minutes or until completely cooled.

    In medium microwave-safe bowl, combine chocolate chips and butter. Microwave on HIGH for 1 to 2 minutes or until melted and smooth, stirring every 30 seconds. Add cocoa, corn syrup and milk; blend well. Add confectioners' sugar; mix until smooth. Press over cooled crust. Top with cherries; gently press into filling.

    In small microwave-safe bowl, combine vanilla chips, and shortening. Microwave on HIGH for 1 to 2 minutes or until melted and smooth, stirring every 30 seconds. Spoon and spread over filling. Refrigerate 20 minutes or until set.

    Cut into squares or diamond-shaped pieces. Garnish with chocolate-shavings.

    Makes 48 bars.
