Doubled the beans and after soaking them overnight cooked everything in the crock pot. Used Mexican stewed tomatoes and left out the jalapenos as I was cooking for an office function. I couldn't believe that I didn't have any leftovers!

These came out better than I expected - rich, but not too sweet. I doubled the recipe and cooked them in a 9"x13" Pyrex. I cut them into 1" squares and it was just enough without being overwhelming. The chocoholics just went back for seconds! Definitely refrigerate before cutting, but not too long or it will be impossible to get the knife through the fudge. I also cut back on the cherry juice or the icing would have been too soft. Very indiscernible cherry flavor, so if you're looking for more, you may need to add something to boost it. Will definitely be making these for the holidays!

I doubled the recipe and made 2 8"x8" pans - one for a co-workers birthday and one to leave home! After reading all of the reviews, I added a 1/2t of vanilla to the batter, used 8oz of cream cheese, and added cinnamon and tripled the topping. My batter still ended up purple from the quickly thawing frozen blueberries, but it wasn't noticeable after baking. Cubing the cream cheese was a messy process, but well worth the effort! The cake is dense, but not overly sweet (despite my extra topping!?) and the blueberry and cream cheese combination was awesome. I think I might try the suggested cream cheese drizzle next time, just to really take this recipe over the top!! Thanks for sharing, Melanie!
