Eat them before they melt!<\/p><\/div>\n

It\u2019s no secret that I\u2019m a big fan of Cherry Active<\/a>. They\u2019re most famous for their concentrate, which is made from 100% Montmorency cherries. It is said to improve sleep, help reduce DOMs and also lower blood pressure. And there are many other studies<\/a> which support the benefits of Cherry Active for sports, health and wellness. At home, I\u2019ve got a giant bottle of the concentrate which I use in post-workout smoothies, in porridge, granola and for baking. If truth be told, I try and put it into everything! Which is why it\u2019s a no brainer that they\u2019re featuring in these. Because chocolate and cherries are just the best combination.<\/p>\n

As well as including the liquid, this recipe also calls for the dried cherries<\/a> \u2013 they add texture and a yummy chewiness to the mix. One thing to note is that for some magical reason, Cherry Active does not freeze. At all. Which makes things interesting!<\/p>\n

That is why it\u2019s crucial to use good chocolate which properly solidifies. Otherwise, you\u2019ll get leaky chocolates\u2026 the key to this is to make sure there\u2019s a chocolate seal around the filling.<\/p>\n

This recipe also requires you to melt the chocolate. The most common piece of kitchen equipment for this is a bain-marie. But hardly anyone has a bain-marie. Not unless you\u2019re a professional chef or a chocolate maker. And this recipe is for everyone. A pyrex jug hooked over a saucepan of shallow simmering water works just as well. You can also buy little melting pots which work in a similar way.<\/p>\n

Make sure when you eat them that you eat them fast! If they melt, delicious sticky Cherry goo will ooze out!<\/p>\n
