If you like dark chocolate, you will love these!
Ingredients
- 1 cup almonds, toasted in a dry skillet over a medium-high flame until fragrant, stirring frequently, 3 to 5 minutes and coarsely chopped
- 1/2 cup cherries, dried tart, coarsely chopped (Whole Foods)
- 6 ounce dark chocolate, 72% cacao, finely chopped (Trader Joe's Carries it)
- In a medium bowl, toss together the almonds and cherries. Line a baking sheet with waxed paper.
- Melt half the chocolate in the top of a double boiler over 1 inch of barely simmering water, over the lowest possible heat, stirring frequently.
- Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the rest of the chocolate.
- Stir the fruit/nut mixture into the chocolate. Spoon out heaping tablespoon-sized clusters of the chocolate mixture onto the baking sheet about 1 inch apart. Put them in the refrigerator to set for 15 minutes. Store and serve at room temperature.
Serving size: 1 cluster.
