Pick me up healthy Dark Chocolate Candy

While headed down to Key West with my son Michael - I was watching one of the food channels on the airplane.  I had to copy this recipe down  because I like a little dark chocolate pick me up every so often and it supposed to be healthy for us.  This was a healthy recipe - and sooooo easy. I made these in about 15 minutes!
heres the recipe: ( did double this recipe to make 24 candies)
1/2 cup of dark choc chips
1/4 cup of creamy peanut butter
1/2 cup of chopped almonds
1/3 cup of dried cranberries or cherries
1/8 tsp of almond extract
Melt chips in micro about 1 minute and 20 seconds, stir till smooth then stir in peanut butter, then add the rest and stir till blended well.  Spoon into small cupcake cups using cupcake holder (small one) it will help to keep the shape of the candy as it hardens. Put in freezer for 30 minutes then keep in refrig. They are really delicious! Enjoy them!
