Yes, as long as they are DARK chocolate covered cherries.

Once upon a time when I was just a wee bit of a lass I bought some chocolate covered cherries from the candy shop.

As I was leaving I took a bite. Ack! Horrible raw bitter liquid filled my mouth. They were spoiled!

I spit it out there in the parking lot. My dad asked me what I thought I was doing. I explained. He took the bag and examined my chocolate covered treasures and then told mom to take me on to the car.

He later returned with a bag of goodies and assured me that these were not "spoiled".

Much later I learned that the liquid inside the chocolate covered cherries in that shop was pure Cognac and that my dad had raked the shop owner over the coals for selling them to an unsuspecting seven year old.

So to this day I bite very carefully into chocolate covered cherries.
