Steps:
- In a small bowl, combine the almonds and cherries; set aside.
- Melt the semisweet chocolate over low heat in a 2 quart saucepan, stirring constantly. In a 1 quart saucepan, melt the white chocolate over low heat, stirring constantly. Remove both saucepans from the heat.
- Stir half of the almond mixture into the semisweet chocolate. On a large cookie sheet, spread semisweet chocolate mixture to about 1/4" thickness. Drop the white chocolate by tablespoons onto the semisweet chocolate mixture. With the tip of your knife, swirl chocolates together for a marbles look. Sprinkle with the remaining almond mixture.
- Refrigerate at least 1 hour or until firm. Break the bark into pieces. Store in the fridge for up to 1 month (believe me, it won't last that long!).

Steps:
- Line a 9x13 inch baking pan with aluminum foil.
- Melt the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe glass or ceramic bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring after each melting, until smooth, 1 to 3 minutes (depending on your microwave). Do not overheat or chocolate will scorch. Using a spatula, quickly spread the melted chocolate evenly in the prepared pan until the bottom of the pan is covered. Sprinkle the crushed candy evenly over the chocolate, and pat lightly with a clean spatula to help the candy settle into the chocolate.
- Melt the red confectioner's coating, if using, in a microwave-safe glass or ceramic bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring after each melting, until smooth, 1 to 3 minutes (depending on your microwave). Spoon the melted coating into a resealable plastic bag; snip off a very small corner of the bag, and use to drizzle coating over the bark.
- Place the pan in the refrigerator or freezer until hardened, about 30 minutes. Remove from pan; peel off foil. Break into small pieces to serve.

Tips:
- Use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor. A good semisweet or bittersweet chocolate will work well.
- Be sure to temper the chocolate before using it. This will make it smooth and shiny, and less likely to seize.
- If you don't have a marble slab or metal bowl for tempering chocolate, you can use the microwave. Just heat the chocolate in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until it reaches the desired temperature.
- Use a variety of toppings for your bark. Some popular options include chopped nuts, dried fruit, candy pieces, and spices.
- Be creative! You can make cherry chocolate bark in any flavor combination you like. Try using different types of chocolate, fruits, and nuts.
Conclusion:
Cherry chocolate bark is a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. It's a great way to use up leftover chocolate, and it's also a fun activity to do with kids. With a few simple ingredients and a little creativity, you can make a delicious and beautiful cherry chocolate bark that everyone will love.
