Ingredients

200 gram block of good quality dark chocolate

1 Cherry Ripe bar* or 50g dried cherries, chopped

Method

1. Melt chocolate in a metal bowl over a saucepan of simmering water. Once fully melted spoon the chocolate on to a sheet of baking paper on a flat tray and using a spatula spread out until the bark is about half a centimeter thick. While the chocolate is still soft top with chopped Cherry Ripe bar (or dried cherries).
2. Place in fridge for 1-2 hours until the chocolate is fully set. Once set, chop in to 3 x 3 inch pieces. Enjoy!

*Cherry Ripe bars are Australia’s oldest chocolate bar, they are a delicious mix of cherry and coconut smothered in dark chocolate. They can be purchased online however if you can’t get a hold of one you can use dried cherries and coconut flakes which will also work great for this recipe.
