We bought these at Costco and loved them. They are very easy to make yourself. I like portioning them out with a mini cookie scoop, they look professionally made that way.I think these are best with tart dried cherries, otherwise known as pie cherries. I find lightly sweetened dried tart cherries at Costco. Costco usually has the roasted whole almonds too.
I love using Lakanto's new sugar-free dark chocolate, which was formulated by my amazing mom. It really is the best, plus it's healthy!
Enjoy the benefits of the antioxidants and protein packed in these little babies.
Almond Cherry Clusters Recipe:
16 ounces sugar-free dark chocolate (like a 72%)
8 to 10 ounces dry-roasted whole almonds (salted is o.k.)
8 to 10 ounces dried TART cherries
Method:
Melt and temper the chocolate.
Stir in the almonds and cherries.
Drop by Tablespoonfuls onto parchment or silicone lined cookie sheets.
Cool in the fridge, in front of a fan, or outside if its cool.
Store airtight once set up.
Makes 2 cookie sheetfuls.
Note: To save money, alter the ratio of almonds to the cherries, to cut costs.
ie. 16-oz chocolate, 12-oz almonds, 8-oz cherries, works well.
Enjoy!
Leila.
