  2. Toast the sliced almonds in a dry 9-inch skillet over medium heat, stirring frequently, until lightly golden and fragrant, about 4 to 5 minutes.

  3. Transfer the toasted almonds to a bowl and let cool for 5 minutes, then stir in the chopped dried cherries.

  4. Combine the dark chocolate chips and coconut oil in a heatproof bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water, stirring until melted and smooth.

  5. Pour the melted chocolate over the almond-cherry mixture and stir until evenly coated.

  6. Drop heaping tablespoons of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them slightly apart.
