Chocolate Cherry Haystacks
Ingredients
3 large shredded wheat biscuits or mini-shredded wheat bites (no sugar added), about 3/4-1 cup
6 ounces dark chocolate (60% to 70% cocoa solids), chopped
1/3 cup dried cherries (2 ounces)
Kosher or Maldon salt, optional
Directions
- Line a baking sheet with wax paper. With your hands, crush the shredded wheat into thread-like pieces into a small bowl.
- Place the chocolate in a heatproof bowl and place on top of a pan filled with a few inches of water. Make sure the bottom of the bowl does not touch the water. Bring the water to a simmer. Melt the chocolate, stirring frequently, for about 1 minute or until it has all melted. Remove the chocolate bowl from the heat. Add the crushed shredded wheat and the cherries to the chocolate and stir until well coated.
- Using a tablespoon, scoop stacks of the cereal-chocolate mixture onto the wax paper, shaping with fingers as needed. Sprinkle with salt, if desired. Place in the refrigerator to cool and set, about 15 minutes. Serve at room temperature.
