These Cherry Chocolate Nut Bars are a family favorite. Our cute neighbor Sylvia makes these every year for Christmas.
If you are not home when they are delivered, you will have a whole year to wait for another shot at one of these yummy bars! They will go fast. We finally got the recipe from her.
They are so easy to make and very addicting. They taste just like a Big Cherry candy bar.
And just when you thought this recipe couldn’t get any better, it only requires five simple ingredients. FIVE. So easy, and super inexpensive. You will love them.
You will also want to try our Cherry Bing Bars. A favorite dessert.
If you have a peanut butter allergy, or just simply don’t like peanuts, there is a simple solution.
This recipe would be just as good with almond butter, and almonds.
The taste and texture are going to be a little different, however, they will still work, and taste amazing. Be sure your almond butter is completely melted, with the rest of the chocolate ingredients.
You can also used chopped almonds, in place of the peanuts, or chunky almond butter.
what is the secret to cutting these?
These are delicious, and so easy to make, however cutting them can be a bit of a challenge, but we have a little secret for you, to help cut them perfectly.
Get a sharp knife (I use one of our steak knives), and run it under hot water for about 45-60 seconds.
Proceed to cut your Cherry Nut Bars, with the hot knife. It will melt the chocolate down a little, so they will cut without the chocolate breaking or cracking, and prevent the marshmallows from sticking to much.
You may need to reheat the knife after a few seconds. Or if you see the chocolate cracking or the filling oozing out, rinse the knife again.
