Cherry Almond Chocolate Cluster

Recipe from Healthy Living With Ellie Krieger

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 the chocolate in the microwave for 1-2 minutes in a microwave safe bowl. Stir the chocolate and reheat if needed.

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.

Yield: 12 servings (1 serving = 1 cluster)
