- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/3 cup dried cherries coarsely chopped

- Pour the chocolate onto a parchment lined baking sheet and spread out evenly. Refrigerate for one hour until firm and then break apart.
Notes
This is a formula recipe. You can add other combinations to the chocolate or a delicious sweet treat.
Take Yvonne’s advice on GOOD dark chocolate. I used chocolate chips. Although the taste is great, it was difficult to spread. My guess is it is missing some fat!
You are so right Carol!
I would like to know what size pan is used for this recipe. I am going to make this but don’t know what size pan to prep.
Do you mean the pan for the double boiler? The idea is to create a steam bath to melt the chocolate. So find a bowl that will be heatproof and big enough for the chocolate (I use a glass bowl) and then find a pot that the bottom of the bow will fit into. Fill the pot with water but don’t let the water touch the bowl. I hope this helps you.
