Cherries are in Season!!!
Fill them with chocolate. This recipe is a dark chocolate but you can make it less intense and creamier by adding raw coconut to the mix.

Chocolate Filled Cherries
1/2 Cup Raw Cacao Powder, I get mine from Sunfoods. I buy from them because I learned that cacao is often mixed with bone powder as a filler- yuck!)
2 Tblspn Coconut oil
4 Tblspn Currants ( or 3 Tbspn honey if you aren't opposed) Although I am mostly vegan I like to economically support bees by using honey. They are vital for our ecosystem and people will value them more if there's an economic benefit for tending to them.
Coconut water for mixing
Raw Coconut meat (optional)

Put all ingredients in a bowl and mix with a fork. Taste often. If it is too chocolatey, add some raw coconut pulp 1 teaspoon at a time.
Pit the cherries and fill just the pit cavity with chocolate. Close up the cherries and refrigerate. The coconut oil will harden in the fridge.

Enjoy!
