White Chocolate Lollipops

• 16 ounces very good white chocolate, finely chopped
• 1/2 cup dried cherries
• 1/2 cup salted roasted cashews

1. Place a sheet of non-stick silicone or parchment paper on a sheet pan.
2. Place 12 ounces of the white chocolate in a heat-proof glass bowl and put it in the microwave on high for 30 seconds.
3. (Time it with your watch for accuracy.)
4. Stir the chocolate with a rubber spatula, return it to the microwave for another 30 seconds, then stir again.
5. Continue to heat and stir in 30-second intervals until the chocolate is just melted.
6. Immediately stir in the remaining 4 ounces of chocolate and allow it to sit at room temperature, stirring often, until it's completely smooth.
7. (If you need to heat it a little more, place it in the microwave for another 15 seconds.)
8. Using a tablespoon, pour the melted chocolate in rounds onto the silicone and place lollipop sticks in the middle of each chocolate round, giving the stick a little twist.
9. Sprinkle the tops of the lollipops evenly with the cherries and cashews.
10. Set aside to harden.
