I like to eat chocolate.
A lot.
I also really like things that only take a few ingredients to make.
Like these:
I actually found this little recipe in a magazine a few years ago and adapted it just a bit. There’s not much you can change on a three-ingredient recipe but I managed it.
I like a little chocolate in the evening after dinner and these are perfectly satisfying for my sweet tooth. They give you a little extra zing with the dried cherries and last I heard, almonds and even dark chocolate are pretty good for you. So go ahead, have two! (not that I have done that had three or anything…)
First, gather your three ingredients:
6 oz. dark chocolate 60% – 70% cocoa
1/2 cup dried cherries
1 cup sliced almonds
Next, line a baking sheet with wax paper.
Now, coarsely chop the cherries and then mix them together with the almonds in a bowl. Melt the chocolate over a double boiler or if you are lazy-ish like me, in the microwave, until melted. Dump the cherry/almond mixer into the melted chocolate and mix.
Take a spoon and plop spoonfuls onto the wax paper in cluster form. Try not to lick the spoon too much (good luck with that).
Refigerate for 30 minutes to an hour and BAM! Almond chocolate cherry clusters FTW!
Store in fridge in air-tight container for up to a week but I promise they WILL NOT last that long.
This recipe only makes about 14-16 so you may want to double… just a suggestion.
ENJOY!

I l I ve 3 ingredient recipes! So yum!
I love easy 3-ingredient chocolate anything!
I am so making those! Usually I don’t bake anything (due to being baking challenged) but these are easy!! Even I can make them!
Oh wow – YUM!
This is much more my speed. My eyes cross when recipes have too many ingredients or steps. Who has time for that?!
I wish I liked cherries… so many summer recipes include them. But chocolate? YUM-O!!
These remind me of those chocolate coconut haystacks that I can’t get enough of.
Things that are both easy and delicious are my favorite!
I am not a cherry fan, but Eddie would LOVE these! Pinned and now I want to make them to take up to the cottage with us this weekend!
Yum!
Chocolate, almonds, and cherries. I do believe I’m in love.
So trying these! And so simple!
Three ingredient, yummy, chocolaty treat? Yes, I believe I shall!
Seriously? I should not be reading this before breakfast!
So, I’m gonna need you to come to my house and make these for me this weekend. I’ll get rid of the kids AND the husband so we can have lonely time.
These look so amazing! I will be trying this soon. Ever since I made cathedral cookies (that’s what people call them), I cannot stop mixing things with chocolate to make a roll or do it clusters like this. It’s so awesome to make your own candy like this for your family or as gifts! Delish!
