We all know that chocolate and cherries go so very well together and Meseidy NAILED it when she created this gorgeous galette.
The flavors are incredible.
The crunchy crust with the soft chocolate cherry filling is top notch.
It’s beyond easy to make, especially since you’re using a store bought pie crust, but yet it will look like you spent hours making it.
