What a perfect chocolatey treat!! I wanna pop all of them in my mouth 🙂
I think I’m being tortured every time I come by here. As usual these look very delicious. I love the combination of the cherry and almond flavors – and let’s not forget the chocolate. All so yummilicious!
such a delicious sounding combination! I have some puffs in my pantry–might have to try this! I’m thinking a pb chocolate version would be good too!
Besides this recipe sounds delicious – – I CAN NOT BELIEVE it’s only 62 calories a piece!! Great recipe 🙂
Beyond fantastic!! I can’t believe each ball is only 62 calories either…awesome!
62 calories?!?!?! Incredible! Can’t wait to give ’em a try.
What a great recipe! You have a beautiful blog…looking forward to reading your earlier posts. I am trying to be more of a “successful” baker – my daughter is in a Pastry Art program in New Orleans…so, maybe I won’t have to!
