This Chocolate Covered Cherries recipe pairs juicy sweet cherries and dark chocolate with no added sugar, and whips up in just 10 minutes! Melt the chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl or in a double boiler. Dip a frozen cherry into the chocolate remove it with a fork, and let the excess chocolate run off.
Shape into 1-in. balls and flatten each into a 2-in. circle. Wrap 1 circle around each cherry and lightly roll in hands. Place with stems up on waxed paper-lined baking sheet. Cover loosely and refrigerate 4 hours or overnight. In a microwave, melt chocolate and shortening; stir until smooth.
In general, like most candy, Chocolate Covered Cherries contains a lot of sugar. Unfortunately, this means they’re not the healthiest choice if you’re trying to limit your sugar intake. Additionally, regular (i.e., store-bought) Cordial Cherries also contain preservatives because they don’t use fresh cherries.
Directions. Cover loosely and refrigerate 4 hours or overnight. In a microwave, melt chocolate and shortening; stir until smooth. Holding on to the stems, dip cherries into chocolate; allow excess to drip off. Place on waxed paper until set. Store in a covered container. Refrigerate 1-2 weeks before serving.
