I tried the original recipe and found with the chocolate wafer cookies, the crust was too dry. So adding more butter worked for me. And my rule of thumb is never use canned pie filling in a recipe especially when the fruit is a major component. I just find them too gummy. I am glad you were able to correct it to your personal liking. Hope it works out better for you next time!

I made this recipe this weekend. Overall, it turned out well. However, here are some notes that I hope might be helpful: the original recipe from epicurious.com calls for 1/2 stick of butter in the crust (one whole stick was too much). The cherries did not look appealing – I ended up using a light cherry pie filling as a topping. I also could not find chocolate thin wafer cookies anywhere in the state or on the internet, so I used 20 Oreos (scrapped the filling out of the wafers and simply used the wafers). This seemed to work out well. I’m going to make again using the information above and I think this will be just about perfect!!! I’m glad the recipe was available to try.
