Almonds, Chocolate & Cherries, oh Yeah

My wife made some bark. 

Her bark is Ghiradelli dark chocolate with whole almonds and diced dried cherries.  

When I first heard her mention it, I thought, well, that's just a Hershey's bar with almonds and cherries.  Wisely, I kept my mouth shut about it.  I haven't stayed married and alive all these years without learning something.  

She made this treat because our neighbor had a heart-attack and ended up stented, and with a limited diet.  This dark chocolate - cherry - almond bark is a healthy treat. 

But some was kept for us.  I'd forgotten she'd made it until last night, when she mentioned it.  I'll tell you what, healthy or otherwise, it is delicious, a nice addition to a glass of wine and reading a book.

Wow--chocolate! And, dark

Wow--chocolate! And, dark chocolate! This reminds me of the large jar of Costco's "Dark Chocolate, Dried Cherries and Almond Clusters" I was gifted with. Lucky you with a spouse who can make it!  Enjoy.   J :)

It is wonderful ~

The Costco version is good but I must admit that my wife's version makes it a dim second choice.  

We have a house guest coming.  My wife has made more cookies - the healthy oat and chocolate chip drop cookies.  She asked me not to eat the cookies so we have something to offer them.

"What about the chocolate bark?" I asked.  It's a greater concern to me.  "Should we save some of that for her?"

"No, I can make more of that."

Sweet.

Thanks for reading and commenting.  Happy holidays.  Cheers
