Here is a great go-to snack or dessert that is quick and simple - and has hundreds of variations!
Dark Chocolate Covered Nuts
(Here is a link to the original recipe - adapt away!
1 bag dark chocolate chips
1 bag almonds
1 bag dried cherries
Coconut chips (optional)
Other ideas to change it up: dried chopped mango, freeze-dried raspberries, cashews, pinch of cayenne pepper (mix into melted chocolate) - let your imagination go wild!
Melt chocolate in microwave. Stir until smooth. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Drop a teaspoon size amount of chocolate onto parchment, spacing drops one-inch apart. Place 3-4 almonds on top of each chocolate drop. Place 2-3 cherries on top of almonds. Drop a second teaspoon of chocolate on top of cherries and almonds. Add coconut chips, if desired. Place in refrigerator until hardened.
Living in Arizona, I have to keep my candies in the fridge year-round; these candies do melt quickly...but they also get eaten very quickly! Enjoy!
