White chocolate lollipops

Ingredients:

• 450 g white chocolate, finely chopped
• 1/2 cup dried cherries
• 1/2 cup salted roasted cashews

Preparation:

1. Place a silicone baking mat or parchment paper on a baking sheet.
2. Place 12 ounces (340 g) of white chocolate in a heatproof glass bowl and microwave on high power for 30 seconds. Stir with a silicone spatula. Return to the microwave for another 30 seconds. Then stir again. Continue until melted. Immediately stir in the remaining 4 ounces (110 g) of chocolate and let stand at room temperature, stirring frequently, until completely smooth. (If additional warming is needed, microwave for another 15 seconds.)
3. Using a tablespoon, spoon the melted chocolate onto a silicone mat to form circles. Insert a lollipop stick into the center of each circle, swirling it slightly. Sprinkle the cherries and cashews evenly over the lollipops. Set aside until hardened.
