5 ingredients
6 steps

Ingredients

  • 8 ounces best-quality dark chocolate, chopped
  • 1/4 cup cream
  • 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
  • 8 dried cherries
  • 1/2 cup cocoa powder

Directions

  1. 1
    Put balsamic and cherries into a small pot and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer 5 minutes. Remove cherries and discard (or use later in a salad. You won't regret it.) Set balsamic aside to cool.
  2. 2
    Melt chocolate and cream in a double boiler (or a heat-proof glass bowl over a pot filled with water), making sure the water is hot, not boiling.
  3. 3
    Place melted chocolate in a small bowl and add the cooled balsamic. Mix well.
  4. 4
    Cool in the refrigerator about 1 hour. Let sit at room temperature for 1 hour, until firm but moldable.
  5. 5
    Roll mixture into one inch balls and place on a parchment lined tray. Pour cocoa powder into a shallow dish and roll balls to cover.
  6. 6
    Serve immediately or store in an airtight container up to one week.
