Instructions
- To begin, combine the cashew butter, maple and salt in a small bowl. Add your silicone mold to a sheet pan and prepare your cherries.

- Add a cherry atop the chocolate to each mold, followed by a small spoonful of the cashew butter mixture. Top the rest of the mold with chocolate to seal the cordial.
- Alternately, if you do not have a silicone mold or ice tray, you can also stuff the cherries with the cashew butter mixture and dunk the cherries individually into the melted chocolate. transfer to a parchment-lined sheet pan.
- Sprinkle the tops with dye-free sprinkles, if desired. Let chill to firm up, at least 20 minutes.
- Serve at room temperature and enjoy!
