Best 6 Chocolate Cherry Almond Crisps Steph Recipes

CHERRY ALMOND CHOCOLATE CLUSTERS

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, toss together the almonds and the cherries. Line a baking sheet with waxed paper.
• Melt half the chocolate in the top of a double boiler over slightly simmering water, over the lowest possible heat, stirring frequently. Make sure the water is not touching the top pan. Remove the double boiler from the heat and stir in the rest of the chocolate. Remove the top pan with the chocolate in it, gently wipe the bottom of it and set it aside for a moment. Replace the simmering water in the bottom pan with warm tap water. Put the pan of melted chocolate on top of the warm water. This will keep the chocolate at the right temperature while you make the clusters.
• Stir the fruit-nut mixture into the chocolate. Spoon out heaping tablespoon-sized clusters of the chocolate mixture onto the baking sheet about 1-inch apart. Put them in the refrigerator to set for 15 minutes. Store and serve at room temperature.

CHOCOLATE CHERRY ALMOND MARSHMALLOW TREATS

Steps:

• 2. Put the marshmallows and butter in a large pot and set over medium heat. Cook, stirring, until the mixture is melted and smooth. Remove from the heat and stir in the almond extract. Add the cereal and continue to stir until well coated. Stir in most of the chocolate chips (reserve 1 tablespoon for sprinkling over the top) and the chopped cherries. Spoon into the foil-lined pan and press firmly with your hands until the treats are even. Sprinkle on the remaining 1 tablespoon chocolate chips and press them into the top with your hands. Cool at room temperature for 10 minutes.
• 3. Using the foil overhang, lift the treats out of the pan and cut with a butter knife into 9 or 12 bars.
