Chocolate Covered Cherries
Author: Sugar n' Spice Gals
Recipe type: sweets
Ingredients
- 16 oz. pkg powdered sugar
- ½ cup butter, softened
- 1 Tbsp. evaporated milk
- 2 tsp. vanilla extract
- 2 10-oz jars maraschino cherries, with stems or without. (I like them with stems, easier to pick up and eat!)
- 12 oz. chocolate flavored candy coating
- 6 oz. pkg. semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Blend together sugar, butter, evaporated milk and vanilla.
- Dry your cherries on paper towels.
- Wrap each cherry in about 1 teaspoon sugar mixture. (I actually use about 2 tsp.)
- (I roll them between my hands so they are nice and round)
- Arrange on a baking pan lined with wax paper and refrigerate overnight.
- Melt together candy coating and chocolate chips in a double boiler or in the microwave. (If melting in the microwave be sure to add 2 tsp vegetable oil to the chocolate chips, and then check and stir about every minute till it is nicely melted)
- Use a candy dipper to dip the cherries in the chocolate, or use two forks to dip them.
- Place on wax paper to cool.

I wanted to make chocolate covered cherries… I even bought maraschinos but never got around to make them.. Maybe for Valentine’s day. Thanks for sharing on Foodie Friends Friday and remember to come back and vote on Sunday.
They’d be perfect for Valentines day! I’ll be sure to stop by and vote on Sunday. 🙂
Thanks for sharing with us at FFF. These looks so good! I love chocolate covered cherries.
Me too! And what makes them even better, is the fact that they have an almond taste to them as well 🙂 Thanks for stopping by
