5 cups Rice Krispies cereal
1 cup dried cherries, chopped
1/2 cup semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips

Let cool for 1 hour.
In a microwave safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips until smooth, checking and stirring every 30 seconds. Using a spoon, drizzle melted chocolate chips over krispies and allow to set for 15 minutes. Take hold of foil overhang and lift krispies from pan. Cut into squares and serves.
