What you’ll need to make 10:
Powdered Sugar – 1/3 cup
Butter – 1 ½ tsp
Corn Syrup – 1 ½ tsp
Marachino Cherries - 10
Chocolate Coating
Dry the cherries out on a paper towel.
Knead the butter, powdered sugar, and corn syrup together into a little ball.
I didn’t have the cherries with the stems on them, so I stuck toothpicks in them so it would be easier to dip them after they cooled. Then you kind of wrap about a tsp of the dough around each cherry.
Let them cool for about an hour in the fridge or freezer. Then dip them in melted chocolate coating. After the initial dip, I let them cool for a bit and then took out toothpicks and dipped the hole back into melted chocolate to camouflage the hole.
Finally, I drizzled them with white chocolate and then sat them aside for about a week. I KNOW! A whole week to wait until the get nice and gooey. But, it was worth it :)
WOW! I've done chocolate straight on maraschinos, but never with the dough between. Beautiful with the drizzled white chocolate. Nicely done!
ReplyDeleteThose look... like cordial cherries. If I liked them, I'm sure they would look delicious. :)
ReplyDeleteAnd I realize that sounded jerkier than it should have.. I don't mean to be jerky. They look lovely. I just hate maraschino cherries.
