Ingredients
  

2 cups fresh cherries, pitted

1 cup dark chocolate chips (substitute with milk chocolate if preferred)

1 tablespoon coconut oil

1 teaspoon sea salt

1 cup shredded coconut (choose between unsweetened or sweetened based on your preference)

½ cup crushed nuts (options like almonds, cashews, or hazelnuts work beautifully)

Bamboo skewers or toothpicks

Instructions
 

Prepare the cherries: Begin by rinsing the fresh cherries thoroughly under cold water. If they are not already pitted, use a cherry pitter or a small paring knife to carefully remove the pits, then set the pitted cherries aside.

    Melt the chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the dark chocolate chips with coconut oil. Microwave the mixture in 30-second intervals, stirring well after each interval until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.

      Dip the cherries: Take each pitted cherry and dip it into the warm melted chocolate, allowing any excess chocolate to drip back into the bowl. Place the chocolate-coated cherries on a parchment-lined baking sheet to catch any drips.

        Add toppings: While the chocolate is still melty, sprinkle a pinch of sea salt, followed by a generous amount of shredded coconut and crushed nuts over each cherry. This will create a delightful combination of flavors and textures.

          Skewer the cherries: Once all the cherries are coated and topped, take a bamboo skewer or a toothpick and carefully skewer each cherry. Leave a little space between each cherry for an appealing presentation and easier handling.

            Chill: Transfer the skewered cherries to the refrigerator and let them chill for about 30 minutes, or until the chocolate has hardened completely.

              Serve: After the chocolate has set, take the skewers out of the fridge. Arrange them beautifully on a serving platter and relish your Cherry Bliss Skewers as a refreshing dessert or delightful snack!
