Sour Cherry Surprise Balls

I'm posting this now due to forgetting yesterday. Leave out the lucuma and halve the cacao and pour into molds for chocolates. Or halve the lucuma and add a tablespoon of coconut oil and chill an then use as a spread. Or replace the sour cherries with another dried fruit such as raisins. Really, the options are endless. I ran out of cherries by the end so really the surprise was "OMG! I didn't get a sour cherry" in my case  ;)
