Directions
Chocolate-Covered Cherry Pie, If you really want to impress your guests or family with a dessert then this is it! This is a never-fail pie that I have made on many occasions, it’s absolutely fantastic! — plan ahead the pie needs to chill for a minimum of 8 hours before serving — it’s also wonderful even without the chocolate-dipped cherries, the first time I made it I did use the cherries, the second time I made this I just drizzled the melted chocolate on the cold pie, then dolluped whipped cream around the edge of the pie :), WOW! Made this for Thanksgiving for the few people that do not care for pumpkin pie This stole the show! It was amazing, like the other person posted, a little time consuming but well worth the effort Thanks for sharing this one!
