Cherry Cordials
Report
Homemade Cherry Cordials are easy to make and get better by the day. They have a sugary filling and a maraschino cherry then encased in a chocolate shell.

Ingredients
- 20 stemless maraschino cherries drained and dried well.
- 3 cups powdered sugar
- ½ cup butter melted
- 4 tablespoons light corn syrup
- 1 pound Chocolate Almond Bark broken up into squares
- ½ cup red candy melts
- ½ cup green candy melts
Instructions
- Drain your cherries and lay out on a paper towel lined plate to dry. You may want to use several paper towels and roll the cherries around on the paper towel.
- In a large bowl, add the powdered sugar, melted butter, and corn syrup. Using a hand mixer on medium speed, beat until combined.
- Scoop out about 1/2 to 3/4 tablespoon of the sugar mixture.
- Place a cherry in the middle of the sugar mixture and roll the mixture around it.
- Once the sugar mixture has completely coated the cherry, roll into a ball.
- Place the sugar coated cherries on a parchment paper lined rimmed baking sheet.
- Repeat with all the cherries.
- Once all of the cherries are coated with the sugar mixture, place them in the freezer for 30 minutes until the sugar mixture is firm.
- While the cherries are firming up, work on the chocolate coating.
- In a large microwave-safe bowl, add the chocolate almond bark. Melt the chocolate in 30 second intervals and stir after interval until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.
- Using 2 forks dip the cherries into the chocolate and place back on the parchment paper. I also like to use a skewer to push the cherry off the fork. I push at the bottom of the ball to avoid making marks in the chocolate.
- Add the red and green candy melts in separate microwave-safe bowls.
- Microwave one bowl at a time in 30 second intervals, stirring after each interval until each color is completely melted and smooth.
- Spoon each color into a separate sandwich bag and cut a small hole in the corner of each sandwich bag.
- Drizzle the cherries with the red and green candy melts.
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
Notes
- Storage: Place your cherries in an airtight container in the fridge until you are ready to serve them up. I recommend eating within 1-2 weeks of them being made.
- Freeze: Place the cherries in a freezer-safe container or freezer bag. Place in the freezer for up to 2 to 3 months.
- Thaw: When you want to eat them, grab from the freezer or let them thaw first in the fridge for a few hours to overnight.
