Organic Homemade Dark Chocolate Covered Cherries

Happy Valentine's Day ♥

 Dark chocolate dipped cherries are easy to make, and slightly more healthy than the conventional boxed Valentine sweets.

These treats require two ingredients – frozen organic cherries and organic dark chocolate.

My recipe for Dark Chocolate Covered Cherries

Ingredients:

1 - 10 oz. bag of frozen organic cherries 

1 bar organic fair-trade dark chocolate - 70%  cacao

Directions:

Melt dark chocolate in microwave. Dip each frozen cherry into the dark chocolate and set on a cookie sheet covered with wax paper.  It’s that easy. When the cherries are frozen they are more solid and easier to dip. The chocolate hardens fast too, and when the cherry defrosts inside the hard chocolate shell its juices are contained. You end up with a hard chocolate shell with a soft and juicy center.

Enjoy your Valentine's Day!
