I tried these because I love chocolate & dried cherries but a cake would go to waste in our house. They were a HUGE hit. My husband prefers them warm from the oven or rewarmed in the microwave. I agree. My 2 year loved them and at least the cherries were healthy.

Amazing! Gave these as a gift to a friend for her birthday because she LOVES black forest cake. Everyone at the party that tried one loved them. Got to keep a few for myself and they were really good. I ended up having to cook them a little bit longer than the time in the recipe - more like 15 minutes.

Only problem I has was keeping the family out of the dried cherries long enough to get them in the batter. They also freeze well-just kept scooping out and rolling into balls, then dropped in freezer bags.
