Melt Chocolate

DIP CHERRIES

2

Use a spoon or fork to dip a few cherries into the chocolate at a time. Remove, draining the excess chocolate, and place the chocolate covered cherries on a parchment-lined plate or baking sheet in little clusters. Top with flaky sea salt if you like. Repeat until all the chocolate and cherries are used up.

Place the cherries in the fridge for at least 30 minutes to solidify. Transfer the cherries to a closed container and enjoy straight from the fridge. They may melt quickly at warm temperatures. Keep in the fridge for up to 3 days, if they even last that long!
