Wow, wow, wow...this was so good. No one could tell it was from a box...the flavour, the texture, the taste and it looks so pretty. We really enjoyed this dessert. The sour cream and cool whip add a new dimension to this lovey chocolatey cherry treat. I will be making this again and again, thanks so much for sharing.

<p>I have 2 young kids: 6 year old and 3 1/2 year old. They keep me busy. I love to cook, though lately I cook less often and not as fancy I would like to. I love to try different recipes and often something new. Sometimes it is good, sometimes not so good. But I am learning to read recipes and estimate end result.</p>
