Who Gave Me the Chocolate Covered Cherries?

The first step to making chocolate covered cherries is to make the fondant that goes around the cherries. The fondant is a combination of powdered sugar, butter and maraschino cherry juice, which forms a dough that can be wrapped around individual maraschino cherries. This dough can be a little sticky to work with. I love to package these chocolate covered cherries in little gift boxes around the holidays to give to family, friends and teachers.

No one can believe that we made them ourselves, and I have to say, I think the homemade version is SO much better than store bought. I just made them for Thanksgiving. Have not tasted but they sure look good. This is a classic cherry cordial recipe. So you end up with a cherry floating inside a little bite of syrup just like store bought.

For added fun you can buy the cherries with stems and keep the stems on as you wrap and dip the chocolates, makes it even more fun.
