Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup dried cherries
- 1.5 cups dark chocolate chips
- 0.75 cup slivered almonds
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
Instructions
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat and set aside.
In a microwave-safe bowl or double boiler, melt the dark chocolate chips and coconut oil together. If using a microwave, heat in 30-second intervals, stirring well between each interval, until smooth and fully melted.
Stir the dried cherries and slivered almonds into the melted chocolate, ensuring they are evenly coated.
Using a spoon, drop heaping tablespoon-sized clusters of the chocolate mixture onto the prepared baking sheet.
Sprinkle each cluster with a pinch of sea salt for a hint of savory flavor.
Refrigerate the clusters for 30 minutes or until the chocolate has fully set.
Remove the clusters from the baking sheet and transfer them to an airtight container. Store in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
Serve and enjoy these sweet, nutty, and chocolatey treats!
