How to Make Cherry Almond Chocolate Cluster

  1. Line a baking sheet with waxed paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, gently toss together 1 cup of dried cherries and 1/2 cup slivered almonds.
  3. In a heatproof bowl set over a saucepan of barely simmering water (double boiler), melt 6 ounces of semi-sweet chocolate chips, stirring frequently until smooth. Avoid letting the bottom of the bowl touch the water.
  4. Remove from heat and stir in 3 ounces of milk chocolate chips until melted and smooth.
  5. Replace the simmering water in the bottom pan with warm water from the tap to maintain a warm temperature.
  6. Place the bowl of melted chocolate back over the warm water, stirring occasionally to keep it fluid.
  7. Add the cherry and almond mixture to the melted chocolate and stir until evenly coated.
  8. Using a spoon or a cookie scoop, drop heaping tablespoons of the chocolate mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 1 inch between each cluster.
  9. Refrigerate for at least 15 minutes, or until the chocolate is set.
  10. Once set, store the clusters at room temperature in an airtight container.
  11. Enjoy these delicious and healthy treats!
