- 1 cup dried cherries
- 1 cup dark chocolate chips

Add the dark chocolate chips to a pot on the stove set to low heat.
Stir constantly until the chocolate has melted, then immediately remove from the heat.
Add the dried cherries to the pot of melted chocolate, then stir to evenly coat them with chocolate.
Use a spoon to scoop up 5-6 melted chocolate coated dried cherries, then use a second spoon to gently drop them into a cluster onto a plate lined with parchment paper.
Repeat with the rest of the dried cherries.
Place the plate in the fridge to allow the chocolate to harden for at least 45 minutes before serving.
Optional topping step: sprinkle finely chopped almonds on top of the chocolate cherry clusters before placing them in the fridge to harden.
