Steps:
- In a large bowl, break cornflakes into small pieces with your fingers. Add cherries and toss together.
- Place 2/3 cup chocolate in a medium heatproof bowl set over (not in) a pot of simmering water. Stir occasionally until chocolate melts, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from heat and add remaining chocolate, stirring until melted. (Alternatively, microwave the chocolate in a bowl in 30-second increments, stirring after each, until melted.) Pour over cornflake mixture and, with a rubber spatula, gently fold just until cereal and cherries are completely coated.
- Drop by heaping tablespoonfuls onto 2 parchment-lined baking sheets and let set in a cool, dry place, 1 hour.

Steps:
- In a medium bowl, toss together the almonds and cherries.
- Line a baking sheet with waxed paper.
- Melt half the chocolate in the top of a double boiler over about an inch of barely simmering water, over the lowest possible heat, stirring frequently.
- Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the rest of the chocolate.
- Remove the top pan with the chocolate in it, gently drying the bottom, and set it aside.
- Replace the simmering water in the bottom pan with warm water from the sink. Put the pan of melted chocolate on top of the warm water. This will keep the chocolate at the proper temperature while you make the clusters.

- Put them in the refrigerator to set for at least 15 minutes.
- Store and serve at room temperature.

CHERRY ALMOND CHOCOLATE CLUSTERS
Compliments of Ellie Krieger with a few modifications. If you love chocolate, especially dark chocolate you will love these. I have made these a half dozen times in the past month sharing them with my mother-in-law who has diabetes. She is able to eat one a day and it doesn't raise her sugar levels. She is loving it.
