These Fudgy Black Forest Bars definitely have the rich chocolate flavor and moist, dense texture typical of fudge. They're also the home of puddles of cherry pie filling and studded with dark chocolate chunks before being showered with powdered sugar. The ultimate chocolate and cherry dessert combination.
