Around Thanksgiving time I bought a bag of Nestle DelightFulls. They are dark chocolate morsels with cherry flavored filling. Uhh....YUM! For some reason I struggled to find a good use for them, but last night I decided to just throw them into my favorite chocolate chip cookie dough. The dough is for a super soft cookie, so I figured they'd be ok. When I opened the bag to pour them in I tasted one and just about died. They were soooooo good! If I hadn't already made the cookie dough, I probably would have just eaten them all from the bag. Chocolate covered cherry anything rocks my world, so these cookies quickly became my favorite. Now all I have to do is remember where I bought those chips!
Needless to say, I'm officially on a chocolate covered cherry kick, so why not throw together a smoothie that helps sooth my craving? I've had a bag of unsweetened dark cherries in my freezer for a couple months, so I pulled them out and threw this together. I added a couple tsp if Agave nectar to add some sweetness, but if you use almond milk, or vanilla soy milk, you probably won't need to do that. Enjoy!
