Mmmmm, hot out the oven - the chocolate is all gooey, and then you get a taste of the sweet/tart dried cherries.....buttery goodness as Tenina said 

I used the willow pudding tins that I picked up from Big W.  I did split the dough into 2 tins, but ideally next time, I will use just the 1 tin.
I found I didn't need to dry the crust out.....was lovely and crunchy.



I had pounded the pavement everywhere here, looking for dried cherries....no luck, so I bought online in 1 kg. bag.
I think the cherries are the perfect partner for the chocolate...and I really love the flavour of them...so will all get used 
I cut cherries in half for this recipe.

Great review, Maddy - thanks!! - Very enticing . . . . .

Costco sells dried cherries

....hmmm...if I wasn't such a chicken to drive to Melbourne on my own, I would have been there many times!    Shame the train doesn't pull up at the front door 

Where did you buy the cherries from maddy?

Not sure if I overpaid royally, but I was over searching at that point

Really like them....not what I expected.

With the leftovers I will make the choc cherry brioche pudding for tonight's dessert.

It looks so good Maddy.   

I really must buy some cherries when I next see them and dry them as the ones I did last year were lovely.
