Chocolate Covered Cherries Recipe – These are great! And easy too! My friends and I really enjoy eating these each year at New Years time. I let mine sit in my pantry for a week or two and they get really nice and gooey.

  • Prep Time: 1 hour
  • Total Time: 1 hour
  • Yield: 60 pieces 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 60 maraschino cherries with stems
  • 3 tablespoons butter, softened
  • 3 tablespoons corn syrup
  • 2 cups sifted confectioners’ sugar
  • 1 pound chocolate confectioners’ coating

Instructions

Step 1
Drain cherries and set on paper towels to dry.

Step 2
In a medium bowl, combine butter and corn syrup until smooth. Stir in confectioners’ sugar and knead to form a dough. Chill to stiffen if necessary. Wrap each cherry in about 1 teaspoon of dough. Chill until firm.
