Recipe information

  • Yield

    Serves 6 (makes one 9 x 9 pan)

12 ounces bittersweet Baker's chocolate, chopped
1/2 cup whole milk
3 tablespoons of unsalted butter
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup shelled pistachios
1 cup dried tart cherries

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    1. In a large microwaveable bowl, combine chocolate, milk, butter, and salt. Place bowl in microwave and heat on high for 3 minutes, stirring every 30 seconds. Remove and whisk until combined and smooth. (If chocolate is not completely melted after whisking, return to microwave for 1 minute and repeat step.)
