Ingredients

1 cup toasted almonds, coarsely chopped
1/2 cup dried cherries, coarsely chopped
6 ounces dark chocolate, finely chopped

Directions

In a medium bowl, toss together the almonds and the cherries. Line a baking sheet with waxed paper.

Melt half the chocolate in the top of a double boiler over slightly simmering water, over the lowest possible heat, stirring frequently. Make sure the water is not touching the top pan. Remove the double boiler from the heat and stir in the rest of the chocolate. Remove the top pan with the chocolate in it, gently wipe the bottom of it and set it aside for a moment. Replace the simmering water in the bottom pan with warm tap water. Put the pan of melted chocolate on top of the warm water. This will keep the chocolate at the right temperature while you make the clusters.

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.

Unbelievably rich...and still good for you!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

These were amazing. They were so easy to make (I used the microwave to slowly melt the chocolate, which worked very well).... They were so rich, I could only eat one, but believe me, that's not a complaint.Read more

Love these
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

These are so simple to make. My friends and family love them. I have even made them for a Christmas bake sale, where they... sold very quickly. Instead of cherries, I use dried sweetened cranberries. Plus I have tried it with good quality white chocolate too. Yum. Read more
