These are SO good. I make them every year for Christmas. One thing though-if you are going to go to all this trouble, please use a good quality chocolate. You’ll never want another chocolate covered cherry from a box.
These are awsome!. I used Bakers semi-sweet dipping chocolate on some and Dolci Frutta(a sweeter fruit dipping chocolate on the others.Next time I make them I plan on soaking the cherries in brandy or southern comfort first,sounds good doesnt it:). Thank you for sharing this recipe.Its a hit.
Out of this world!! I can’t wait to try these out on family and friends on the holidays. These are perfect just the way they are, but next time I’m going to try adding a few drops of mint flavoring to the dough mixture to have chocolate mint cherries,just for something a little different. Also after the first dipping of chocolate( I used Chocolate Almond Bark and it worked really well) try dipping them a second time half way,in melted Vanilla Almond Bark. I think they would look great. Thank you for sharing the recipe.I will be making these alot for special occasions.
I have always wanted to learn how to do these. The recipe is wonderful. I made them on last week, and my sister-in-law wanted to try them and i let her, she wanted to take some with her, and i told her, they had to set for atlease a week or two. So on today i let my husband take some to work and he just could not believe how good they were. I will be making these again and again. Thank you.
Wonderful! I didn’t use stemmed cherries. I made some in my candy mold & the others I just dipped the candy into the chocolate using a fork to manage the candy. *Chocolate needs to be solid around the candy or as it ripens it will leak.
I made these for my friends this Christmas and they loved them! I had to keep my boyfriend from eating them all! Regular-old chocolate chips and wax helps them from turning funny.

Old-fashioned chocolate covered cherries take time to set up. True chocolate covered cherries should turn into a creamy smooth center on the inside once they are set.
Ingredients
60 Maraschino cherries with stems
3 Tbsp. butter, softened
3 Tbs. corn syrup
2 c. powdered sugar, sifted
1 1/2 bags chocolate chips, semi-sweet or milk chocolate
2 tsp. oil
Instructions
Drain cherries and set on paper towel to dry
In a medium bowl, combine butter and corn syrup until smooth. Stir in powdered sugar and knead to form a dough. Chill to stiffen if necessary. Wrap each cherry in about 1 tsp of dough. Chill until firm.
In a microwave-safe bowl melt chocolate chips with oil for about 20 seconds at a time (stirring each time) until chocolate is just melted and completely smooth.
Dip each cherry in by its stem and place on wax paper-lined sheets. Place in an air-tight container (like a large tupperware) and store in a cool place for TWO WEEKS (yes, it is a long time– but patience… I promise they taste best if you wait until the fondant softens)!
