Dark Chocolate Clusters

  • 1/2 C unsalted, roasted almonds (or any of your favorite nuts or seeds)

  • 1/2 C salted roasted almonds

  • 1/2 cup dried cherries (or any of your favorite dried fruit…get creative!)

  • 7 ounces dark chocolate

    Roughly chop the nuts and dried fruit and add them to a medium bowl. 

    In a separate bowl, melt the chocolate. (If you are using chocolate bars, first break them into small pieces). You can melt the chocolate in the microwave (cook 30-60 seconds at a time until fully melted) or over a double boiler.

    Stir the chopped nuts and dried fruit Into the chocolate and mix until everything is fully coated in chocolate.

    Spoon out heaping tablespoon-sized clusters of the chocolate mixture onto a baking sheet lined with waxed paper about 1-inch apart. Chill in the refrigerator to set for about 20 minutes. Serve at room temperature.
