This is so good you're going to want to lick the plate!  The tart cherries provide the perfect balance to the rich, sweet chocolate.  Perfect take along dessert to a party of pot luck.






Ingredients

8oz cream cheese, softened

1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1 Pouch of tart dried cherries, about 1 cup
1/4 cup Black Forest Dukkah

1. Whip cream cheese until fluffy 
2. Add chocolate hazelnut spread, powdered sugar, vanilla, and cherries. Whip to combine

4. Sprinkle the Black Forest Dukkah onto a plate and roll the ball into the Dukkah to coat.
5. Serve with vanilla wafers or graham crackers

*for a quick dessert you could also serve as a dip, with the Dukkah sprinkles on top.
