Cherry Almond Chocolate Clusters image

Compliments of Ellie Krieger with a few modifications. If you love chocolate, especially dark chocolate you will love these. I have made these a half dozen times in the past month sharing them with my mother-in-law who has diabetes. She is able to eat one a day and it doesn't raise her sugar levels. She is loving it.

These clusters are the perfect combination of sweet and salty. I love the crunch of the almonds and the tartness of the cherries.
