Chocolate-Covered Cherries image

Here is a recipe that came to The Times from the kitchen of Laura Cunningham, the novelist and memoir writer. It calls for but two ingredients and 10 minutes of your time, and results in a delicious, romantic and extremely simple grace note to any meal. Be forewarned: the cherries aren't pitted. It's like a metaphor -- for dating certainly, and maybe for life.
