Ingredients
- 20 oz canned pineapple slices in juice not syrup
- 12 maraschino cherries
- 1/4 cup butter melted
- 1/2 cup light brown sugar

- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1 cup pineapple juice reserved from canned pineapple
- 2/3 cup milk
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a baking pan by greasing it lightly for easy removal of the bars.
- In a small bowl, mix together the melted butter and light brown sugar. Spread this mixture evenly on the bottom of the prepared pan.
- Arrange the pineapple slices over the sugar mixture and place a maraschino cherry in the center of each pineapple slice.
- In a large bowl, combine the yellow cake mix, granulated sugar, and baking powder.
- Add the pineapple juice, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Mix until smooth.
- Pour the cake batter evenly over the pineapple and cherry layer.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Then, cover the pan with aluminum foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the bars cool completely before enjoying.
