Chocolate Covered Cherries
Scrumptious homemade Chocolate Covered Cherries are a cinch to make with just a handful of ingredients. They always look so incredibly beautiful on my holiday candy and cookie trays. Or box them, wrap them, and give them as a holiday gift.
I love to drizzle them with different kinds of chocolate for an even more dramatic flair. I love to delight my friends and family and make a batch for Christmas Eve.
