Cordial Cherries – Sara - March 2010 Gooey Center

I’m a fan of Cordial Cherries! This was the perfect time to try them out.

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

Here’s the recipe¨ http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Chocolate-Covered-Cherries-2/Detail.aspx - you can adjust your serving size





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 :)
