I am assuming it means to cut into pieces:

snip

1.
to cut with a small, quick stroke, or a succession of such strokes, with scissors or the like.

I usually just chop them up a little with a knife and cutting board. I don't like washing scissors. :)

I have a cookie recipe from Martha that calls for dried cherries, it's delish. Oatmeal, toffee bits, chocolate chips, dried cherries. Yummy.

Snipped would be similar to coarsely chopped in a recipe. I'm not likely to take the time to scissor cut individual cherries :) Your craisins would be fine, as would dried currants that I sometimes use in place of raisins.

I do often have dried cherries though, we like them for snacks and Costco usually will have them at a much better price than the grocery stores. Same for their dried blueberries

If you don't have a Costco nearby, try looking in the grocery store by the raisins. My grocery store has a great brand called Marianni. They come in a six pack like Sunmaid raisins mini packs.. They're very good and yes, I just chop them with a knife.

I seem to recall Craisins are, indeed, already snipped for you. I once tried to rehydrate them and was surprised to see them cut already?! You may want to cut them again? But they do have at least one cut done.

oh, ok! I guess I wasn't thinking snipped as in snipped....cut.

I was thinking it was a way to dry them or something. Duh!
Thanks everyone

I'm sure craisins will work but dried cherries are much better if you can find them.

We just discovered Dole dark sweet (pitted) frozen cherries - YYUUMMMMMM

Oh, I never thought of frozen. I've used those frozen cherries for smoothies and they add such a lot of flavor.
This recipe is for wrapping the cherries up in a flattened chicken breast and baking it. It was in the February Better Homes & Gardens and looks delish!

as long as they're pitted, processing is quick way...
