this woman doesn’t like them. Waaay too sweet. Dry red wine and dark chocolate for me.

I haven’t had a chocolate covered cherry in ages.

I think I’ll try my hand at some today, just a few will be enough.

I have some beautiful Amarena cherries and some melting chocolate. I think I’ll drizzle the chocolate over a few of the cherries and pop one in once it hardens.

Try this:

Take cherries and chill them to just above freezing, then just pour over the shell syrup................

Back in my days as a paperboy in the late-60s to early 70s, I regularly received boxes of these confections as Christmas gifts from customers. I don’t think I care to consume another.

Me too. I’m not really into chocolates and sweets but I buy a few boxes of the cheap chocolate covered cherries every Christmas.

It's not the same. The syrup surrounding the cherry cordials starts out as a solid fondant, and melts inside the chocolate coating.

This is See’s “candy of the month.”

Fortunately, they sell it in small boxes. I think I’m going to have to hide this particular candy especially deep this month...Only a few liked last month’s selection “Eggnog Truffles.”

Heading over to See’s when they open at 10.

A favorite treat from Grandpa at Christmastime. During the rest of the year, he bought us off with Lemon Drops.

Miss you, Grandpa! :)

“I have no idea what ingredients chocolate covered cherries have in them...”

The filling is just cherry juice mixed with powdered sugar. They can be made from scratch - I’ve done it in the past.

But you’re right. The commercially made ones (’Queen Anne’, by us) are so, SO good! :)
