Ingredients
- 200 grams dark chocolate chips
- 100 grams dried cherries
- 100 grams whole almonds
- 0.5 teaspoons sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoons vanilla extract
Directions
Step 1
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat and set it aside.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
Stir the vanilla extract into the melted chocolate, mixing until combined.
Step 4
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.
Step 5
Using a spoon, drop small clusters of the chocolate mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 1 inch apart.
Step 6
Sprinkle a small pinch of sea salt on top of each cluster for a hint of salty contrast.
Step 7
Refrigerate the clusters for about 30 minutes, or until the chocolate is set and firm.
Step 8
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.
