Pioneer Woman's Cow Patties

Who better than the Pioneer Woman to make cow patties on a cattle ranch.  Well they are not those cow patties.  A couple of weeks ago on her show she was having an open house at their new building and made these.  For the last couple years I have made the crock pot chocolate and while that is great I wanted something different.  These were perfect.

A plateful of cow patties.

These are very easy to put together and easy to double.

Chop up the chocolate.

Place in the microwave until it is melted.  Stir well.

I chopped the dried cherries a little because they were pretty big.  Add 1 cup of either raisins, dried cranberries, or dried cherries.  Whatever is your favorite, or try something different.

The cherries are so pretty.  It is a shame to cover them with chocolate, not really.

Add 1/2  cup whole peanuts.  These were also raw.  I guess you could use the dry roasted.

Add 1/2 cup slivered almonds.

Mix well.

Then dip up on wax paper and let sit until it is firm.

And serve.
