Chocolate-Covered Cherries
Recipe type: Dessert
Cuisine: American
 
Everyone does chocolate-covered strawberries. Even you should go above and beyond with chocolate cherries.
Ingredients
  • 3 c. powdered sugar
  • 4 tbsp. butter, softened
  • 4 tsp. milk
  • 1 tsp. almond extract (optional)
  • 1 (16-oz.) jar maraschino cherries with stem, drained
  • 2 c. chocolate chips
  • 1 tbsp. coconut oil
Instructions
  1. In a medium bowl, using a hand mixer, mix together powdered sugar, butter, milk, and almond extract until smooth and pliable. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Shape into small balls (about 1”) then flatten into circles (about 2”). Loosely cover baking sheet with a damp paper towel or plastic wrap while working to prevent them from drying out.
  2. Wrap each circle around cherry, then pinch shut and lightly roll to cover completely. Return to prepared baking sheet.
  3. In a medium bowl, microwave chocolate chips in 30-second intervals until melted. Stir in coconut oil. Dip cherries in chocolate until coated and return to prepared baking sheet. Refrigerate until firm, about 20 minutes.
