Fellow knottie Jamie said she found this recipe on her bag of craisins. It sounded yummy so I had to try it. Instead of cherry flavored craisins I used actual dried cherries (I love the things). Next time I will chop them up a little bit before putting them in. I also goofed and used semi-sweet chips. You have to be prepared for some serious chocolate if you do it that way. I actually think they might be good with half milk & half semi-sweet. I liked these even better after they sat for a day or so.

Wow...those look wonderful! Too bad my weirdo hubby doesn't like cherries! I might have to try them for SnB though.
