Cherry cubes


Ingredients:

1 cup = 250 mL
  • 250g grounded biscuits for cakes
  • 2 and a half cup of ground coconut
  • 1 can (~400g) of sweet condensed milk
  • 125g butter
  • 1 cup of sweetened cherries

For chocolate topping
  • 250g dark chocolate
  • 80g butter

Directions:

You can use smaller baking pan, then the cubes will be thicker. Although you can use bigger pan but the cubes will come out a little thinner. :)

Mix grounded biscuits with coconut and cherries.

In a separate bowl melt the butter and mix it with condensed milk.

Now mix it all together very good, put it in the pan, flatten, and leave it.

For chocolate topping melt dark chocolate with butter, you can do it on the steam or in the microwave.
Then put it on the mixture in the pan, then put all together in the fridge for couple hours.
