Instructions
- Drain cherries and set on paper towels to dry.
- Combine butter and corn syrup, in a medium bowl, until smooth. Stir in powdered sugar and mix to form a dough. Chill for 30 minutes.
- Wrap each cherry in 1 teaspoon of dough and chill again in the freezer for 20-30 minutes.
- While cherries are chilling, melt candy coating according to package directions. Dip each cherry in the chocolate and place on a parchment paper lined cookie sheet.
- Chill cherries until set and ENJOY!
Notes
- STORE in an airtight container in a cool place for up to 6 weeks. Unlike most homemade goods, these are best after 1-2 weeks instead of only good for 1-2 weeks.

- FREEZE. When you put these homemade chocolate covered cherries in the freezer the cherries are likely to expand and break the chocolate layer. This makes a huge mess, which is why we don’t recommend freezing this candy.
