Who doesn’t love chocolate? I know I love it! When I was pregnant with my daughter, way back in 1992, I practically lived off chocolate. Her father is a pilot and every time he flew to a different country, he would always bring me chocolate back.
Unfortunately, I no longer have my own chocolate stash flown in to me from around the world. Now days when I want chocolate, it is a Reese’s Cup or I have to make myself something yummy. Today was one of those days when something chocolate sounded so good. I had some dried cherries and thought they would go great with the chocolate. It was a match made in heaven. Try out my recipe. I think you will love it. We sure did! Afiyet olsun!
