Ingredients

40 maraschino cherries with stems (packed in very heavy syrup), drained well
1 cup (6 ounces) semisweet chocolate morsels
1 cup (6 ounces) white chocolate morsels

Directions

Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper or waxed paper. Pat cherries dry with paper towels.

Melt chocolates separately in stainless steel bowl set over pan of simmering water, stirring until smooth.

Holding stem of cherry, dip cherry into melted chocolate to coat. You can coat half of cherry in white chocolate and half in semisweet chocolate, if desired. Transfer chocolate-dipped cherry to prepared cookie sheet. Repeat with remaining cherries and melted chocolate.

Refrigerate for about 40 minutes, or until set.

Delicious!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Although a pain to get the cherries dry, the finished product is delicious! I sprinkled multi-colored sugar over all after... the cherries were dipped and they were gorgeous and gone in minutes.Read more

I buy chocolate covered cherries at Wal-Mart and take them out of the box and put them on a pretty tray. WALLAH!!!... Semi-Homemade candy! All of my friends are always so impressed. I put the empty boxes in my neighbor's trash so no-one suspects that I don't slave in the kitchen for hours over these. Thx!Read more
