No Bake Chocolate Cherry Clusters Recipe

3 cups cornflakes
1/2 cup dried cherries
10 ounces bittersweet chocolate, finely chopped (1 3/4 cups)

In a large bowl, break cornflakes into small pieces.
Add dried cherries and stir together.
Place 2/3 cup chocolate in top half of a double-boiler over medium heat. Stir occasionally until melted, about 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 melted chocolate over cornflake and cherry mixture and with a rubber spatula, gently fold just until cherries and cornflakes are completely coated with chocolate.
Drop by heaping tablespoonfuls onto waxed paper or parchment-lined baking sheets.
Set pans in a cool, dry place until set, about 1 hour.
