Dark Chocolate, Cherry and Pistachio Cups
An easy Valentine's Day (or any day!) treat!
Dark Chocolate, Cherry and Pistachio Cups
Forget about boxed candy, these delectable treats are quick, easy and guaranteed not to leave half-eaten candy pieces inside the box! Filled with chewy cherries, crunchy pistachios and topped with just a sprinkle of sea salt (pink, of course!), they are a perfect bite of indulgence!
Watch the video to see how easy these treats are to make!
I used pink Himalayan sea salt on top but any course-ground salt would work. But the pink is so pretty!
I keep these in the refrigerator and let them sit out for just a few minutes to get to room temperature before eating.
