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!).

Refrigerate until firm, 1 hour. Break into 24 pieces.
Tips:
- Use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor. A dark chocolate with a cocoa content of 70% or higher is a good choice.
- Toast the almonds before using them. This will bring out their flavor and make them more crunchy.
- Use fresh cherries for the best flavor. If you can't find fresh cherries, you can use frozen cherries that have been thawed and drained.
- Chop the cherries into small pieces so that they are evenly distributed throughout the bark.
- Be careful not to overcook the chocolate. If you do, it will become thick and difficult to spread.
- Let the bark cool completely before cutting it into pieces. This will help to prevent it from crumbling.
