Directions
Chocolate-Covered Maraschino Cherries,I love chocolate covered cherries,and these are so easy to make.I make them every Christmas and Valentines Day,I ended up having at least half of the fondant left over so I would suggest either making a half recipe of the fondant or buying 2 jars of maraschino cherries. used Hershey’s Special Dark chips and enough shortening to get the proper dipping consistency. Be sure to cover up the entire cherry in chocolate otherwise, when they sit, the cherry juice starts to seep through the uncovered area. I fixed that by doing a touch up with remelted chocolate.,These are amazing! I added some coconut to the “dough” and they turned out delicious. I took them to a party at worked and they were wiped out right away. Thanks for such an easy crowd-pleaser!
