I’ve got one of the quickest, easiest, and healthiest desserts for you.
It only takes 3 ingredients:
Hence the name.
Yep, that’s right: cereal, chocolate chunks, and dried cherries (or any dried fruit you prefer).
They turn out like this:
And then you’ll try not to eat sixteen at once. Having someone you trust handcuff you might help—kidding, but they’re that tempting.

Chocolate Cherry Crispies
Makes about 12 crispies
Ingredients:
- 3 cups rice cereal (white or brown)
- 1/4 cup dried cherries, chopped (or other dried fruit)
- 1/2 cup dark chocolate chunks or chips, melted
Instructions:
- Combine the rice cereal and chopped dried cherries in a large bowl.
- Melt the dark chocolate until smooth. You can do this gently in the microwave in short bursts, stirring between each, or use a double boiler.
- Pour the melted chocolate over the cereal and cherries. Use a spatula to mix thoroughly so the cereal is evenly coated.
- Using an ice cream scooper or spoon, portion the mixture into scoops and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment or a silicone mat.
- Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or until the chocolate has set.
These crispies are quick to make, easy to customize (try nuts, coconut, or different fruits), and perfect for a simple, satisfying treat. I’m making another batch right now.
