Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams dark chocolate chips
- 100 grams dried cherries
- 100 grams whole almonds
- 0.5 teaspoons sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoons vanilla extract
Instructions
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat and set it aside.
Place the dark chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 20-30 second increments, stirring between each round, until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.
Stir the vanilla extract into the melted chocolate, mixing until combined.
Add the dried cherries and whole almonds to the melted chocolate. Use a spatula to stir everything together, ensuring the cherries and almonds are fully coated in chocolate.
Using a spoon, drop small clusters of the chocolate mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 1 inch apart.
Sprinkle a small pinch of sea salt on top of each cluster for a hint of salty contrast.
Refrigerate the clusters for about 30 minutes, or until the chocolate is set and firm.
Once set, remove the clusters from the baking sheet. Serve immediately or store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
