How to Make Milk Chocolate And Cherry Crunch

  1. Line an 8-inch square baking pan with foil, leaving at least a 1-inch overhang on all sides for easy lifting.
  2. In a medium microwave-safe bowl, melt 12 ounces of milk chocolate chips and 4 tablespoons of unsalted butter in 30-second intervals, stirring until completely smooth and combined. (Alternatively, melt over a double boiler.)
  3. Remove from heat and gently stir in 3 cups of your favorite crispy cereal (like Rice Krispies or Corn Flakes) and 1 cup of dried cherries (or maraschino cherries, drained).
  4. Spread the chocolate mixture evenly into the prepared baking pan using a spatula.
  5. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or until completely hardened.
  6. Once firm, lift the candy from the pan using the foil overhang. Break into bite-sized pieces.
  7. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
