No-Bake Cherry Crème Filled Dark Chocolate Bites

Just like most people in the world, I adore chocolate. Matter of fact, I swoon for chocolate goodies almost every day. My daughter Shelly is a fiend for milk chocolate but I much prefer dark. Which type of chocolate do you enjoy?

If you’re looking for a no-bake chocolate treat that is really easy to prepare, I’ve got a great recipe to share with you today. Just looking at that photo makes my mouth water! I think they would be great to make during the holiday season when I do a lot of entertaining.

No-Bake Cherry Crème Filled Dark Chocolate Bites Recipe

1 1/4 cups powdered sugar
2 oz. cream cheese, softened
1 teaspoon Sparkling Ice® Black Cherry
2 tablespoons chopped dried sweet cherries
1 cup dark semisweet chocolate chips (60% cacao)
Toppings: Chopped pistachios, chopped almonds, coconut and chopped dried sweet cherries

In small bowl, combine powdered sugar, cream cheese and Sparkling Ice® Black Cherry, mixing to combine. Add dried cherries, mixing well to incorporate. Cover and refrigerate mixture for at least 1 hour; remove from fridge. With spoon or buttered hands, drop slightly less than ½ tablespoonful onto parchment-lined baking sheet and freeze for 30 to 45 minutes. (Mixture will be sticky.)

Melt chocolate per package microwave directions and set aside. Remove 1 to 2 frozen cherry fillings from the freezer at a time, and using toothpicks or 2 forks, dip each frozen filling into the chocolate to cover, shaking excess chocolate off. Place on parchment and top as desired. Continue for remaining chocolate bites. Refrigerate for 1 hour before serving.
