Chocolate, cherries, nuts.

Yesterday may have been George Washington’s actual birthday, but why not extend the celebration one more day and treat yourself to Chocolove’s Cherries and Almonds bar? It’s 55% cacao Belgian chocolate—a semisweet chocolate not far over the borderline between milk and dark, so milk chocolate lovers can enjoy it too. It’s available at [...]]]></description>

It’s 55% cacao Belgian chocolate—a semisweet chocolate not far over the borderline between milk and dark, so milk chocolate lovers can enjoy it too. It’s available at many fine retailers; or you can buy them online. Get enough to share—you’ll be very popular.

<td align="justify" valign="top">Our tip of the day today is a tasty tip indeed: Make a cherry version of your favorite chocolate chip cookies to celebrate George Washington’s birthday—the Father of our Country was born February 22, 1732. Look for cherry baking chips in baking supply stores, or buy them online at BackToTheCountryStore.com. Then, make your recipe, dividing the chip quantity between chocolate chips (or white chocolate chips) and cherry chips. Another variation on the theme is to add an extra half cup of dried cherries to your recipe (with or without the cherry chips). You also can sprinkle the cherry chips on cupcakes, use them to decorate cakes and puddings, garnish ice cream and add them to muffin and pancake batter.- Use this <a href="http://www.thenibble.com/reviews/main/cookies/cookies2/cherry-chocolate-chip-cookies.asp">recipe</a> to make the cookies.<br />
- Buy these delicious <a href="http://www.thenibble.com/reviews/main/desserts/najlas-gone-chunky-chocolate-chip-cookies.asp">oatmeal cherry chunk cookies</a> from Najla’s (frozen, ready to bake, and kosher).<br />
- Celebrate with the heavenly <a href="http://www.thenibble.com/zine/archives/spotted-dog.asp">cherry chocolate chip ice cream</a> from Spotted Dog Creamery (they’ll ship it to you).</td>

<p align="justify">Do you love cherry pie&#8230;but know that you would love it even more if you could get a top-quality pie filling? Wish no more: Chukar Cherries, a purveyor of the finest cherries and cherry products made from Washington State cherries, makes the best cherry pie and cobbler fillings we’ve ever seen commercially (all natural and certified kosher). Cherry Blueberry filling is made from tart Montmorency cherries plus blueberries (think of it as the high-antioxidant pie filling). Triple Cherry filling combines Bing, Rainier and Montmorency cherries. You can these high-quality toppers on muffins, ice cream, puddings and other desserts. Since George Washington’s actual birth date is February 22nd, bake a pie or cobbler in his honor*—you’ll save so much time with these cherries that you can make a homemade crust. When you order the cherry pie filling, check out the delicious preserves, toppings and barbecue sauces—and the scrumptious dried cherries, far finer than much of what is available.- Read our review of Chukar Cherries <a href="http://www.thenibble.com/reviews/main/desserts/chukar-cherries-brownie-mix.asp">pie fillings</a> and other baking products.</p>
