Description
Delicious no-bake treats combining chocolate, cherries, and almonds for a perfect sweet snack.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2/3 cup dried cherries
- 2/3 cup slivered almonds
- 2 1/4 cups dark chocolate chips
- 1 1/4 cups crispy rice cereal
- Sea Salt (to taste)
Instructions
- With cooking oil spray, prepare a 9×13 metal pan and set aside. You could also just line it with parchment.
- In a small bowl, combine almonds and cherries and mix together; set aside.
- Using a double boiler, or a large saucepan filled with 1/3 of water, set a glass bowl in it. The glass bowl must cover the entire top of the pan and fit like a lid, so that the water does not get into the bowl.
- Once the water is gently simmering, add chocolate into the top of the double boiler or glass bowl. Stir the chocolate frequently until completely melted. Remove from heat and stir in rice cereal.
- Pour the chocolate and rice cereal mixture into the prepared pan, spreading it out into a nice smooth and thin layer. Immediately sprinkle the almonds and cherries evenly over the chocolate, then using a spatula, press the almonds and cherries into the chocolate. Sprinkle with coarse sea salt to taste.
- Set the pan in the refrigerator for 1 hour or until set. Remove the chocolate from the pan and cut into pieces.
Notes
- Ensure the glass bowl fits snugly on top of the saucepan to prevent water from getting in.
- You can substitute different nuts or add more dried fruit for variety.
- Store treats in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
