Step 1

Place almonds in the bottom of a 3.5-4 quart slow cooker.

Step 2

If using almond bark, cut it up in small chunks about 1-inch.

Step 3

Layer the chocolate chips, baking chocolate, cherries and candy coating, having the candy coating on top.

Step 4

Place a layer of paper towels on top of the crock and secure them with the lid.

Step 5

Cook on low ONLY for 1-1.5 hours. Candy will still appear whole, but if you stir it like in the photo in the post, and everything blends well, it's ready.

Step 6

Drop chocolate mixture into paper bonbon cups (about 1.5-inches diameter at bottom). I got 45 bonbon cups out of this recipe.
