What it is

The freeze-drying process removes moisture, creating a crisp texture that contrasts with the smooth chocolate. The dark chocolate offers a rich, slightly bitter flavor that complements the tartness of the cherries. It's a convenient snack that combines fruit and chocolate in a unique way.
