    Title: Chocolate Coconut Cherry Bites
    Categories: Candy
    Yield: 15 Servings

    1 c Frozen cherries (165 g)
    1/2 c Frozen berries (75 g);
    - such as strawberries,
    - raspberries, blueberries
    1 1/2 c Unsweetened shredded
    - coconut (12 g)
    2 tb Unsweetened cocoa powder
    1 tb Maple syrup
    1 ts Vanilla extract
    7 oz Semi-sweet (6% cocoa
    - content dark) chocolate
    - (200 g); chopped

    Preparation time: 20 minutes

    This no-bake chocolate treat makes a simple parev pudding--or
    delicious gift.

    Line a 20x10cm (8x4") baking tin (pan) with baking parchment, making
    sure the parchment reaches up the sides of the tin (pan).

    Add the frozen cherries, frozen berries, shredded coconut, cocoa,
    maple syrup, and vanilla to a food processor and blend to a wet
    sandy-textured mix.

    Spoon the mixture into the prepared tin (pan) and, using the back of a
    spoon, press the mixture into the pan, smoothing and compressing it
    as you go.

    Once the surface is smooth and level, freeze for at least 1 hour or
    up to 3 hours. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate in
    30-second intervals, stirring between each interval until smooth.

    Remove the cherry coconut mixture from the freezer, leave it in the
    tin (pan), and carefully pour the melted dark chocolate over the top,
    spreading it out so that it completely covers the cherry coconut
    mixture.

    Chill in the refrigerator for 15 to 20 minutes until the chocolate
    hardens.

    Use a hot sharp knife to cut the slice into small squares before the
    chocolate has fully set. Return the dish to the refrigerator to
    continue to set before serving. Alternatively, store in an airtight
    container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

    Tip:

    If you can't find frozen cherries, replace them with the same amount
    of canned cherries. Just be sure to drain the canned cherries well or
    the mixture will be too wet.
