Didn't have dried cherries at Wal Mart so I used dried cranberries. Almonds gave it the right crunch. Giving some as Christmas gifts but keeping some for myself.

That scares me more than the microwave, but if it's what you're used to, you should be fine.

That's how I usually do it. I always mess it up when I try to melt chocolate in the microwave. Don't ask... (we all have hidden talents. The ability to mess up anything I cook in the microwave is one of mine.) :)Some Kinda Wonderfulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02314091117741552400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5072314372244230545.post-2348911392418062622008-12-19T16:08:00.000-08:002008-12-19T16:08:00.000-08:00Sounds perfectly yummy, Pitts.

Then a few years ago I discovered that I absolutely loved them. Then I discovered that I was diabetic... so... try not eat them anymore. This may go a long way toward satisfying my craving for them. Thanks ever so much, my friend!Some Kinda Wonderfulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02314091117741552400noreply@blogger.com
