Almond Cherry Chocolate Clusters
1 cup sliced almonds, toasted
1/2 Cup dried cherries, coarsely chopped – Dried cranberries are very good substitute here.
6 oz. dark chocolate – chips are easier but you can break up a bar of dark chocolate.
Line a baking sheet with waxed paper
Mix almonds and cherries together.
Melt chocolate in a double boiler or in microwave on big for 1 minute, stir. 30 seconds more in microwave, stir til melted.
Stir fruit and nuts into chocolate.
By heaping tablespoons put on baking sheet @ an inch apart. Put in fridge for about 15 minutes to set.
Makes about two dozen clusters. Serve in seasonal miniature paper cup liners, on a glass plate. These make a nice addition to your holiday dessert table or a lovely hostess gift or an indulgence while you’re contemplating the future of health care delivery in the US. Either way these will leave you saying, “What a cluster!”
