These are my new favourite treats. The only problem with them is that, although they are “clean”, they are still calorific and I can’t get enough of them. I even tried storing them in the freezer to stop myself from getting through them too quickly, only to find they’re delicious straight from the freezer! 🤣
You can play around with the ingredients, you can’t really go wrong. Try dates if you don’t have cherries and any kind of nut butter would do.
Ingredients
- 100g almonds or cashews
- 100g ground almonds
- 200g dried cherries
- 2 – 3 tablespoons almond butter
- Splash of almond milk (or any milk)
- A splash of almond essence
- 100g Good quality dark chocolate
- 1 desert spoon of coconut oil
Method
- Put the cherries nuts and ground almonds in the food processor and pulse until it’s bread crumb consistency.

- Melt the chocolate and coconut oil in a heatproof dish over a pan of boiling water then pour it over the processed mixture
- Refrigerate until the chocolate is set
