Ingredients
- 1 jar red maraschino cherries with stems
- 1 jar green maraschino cherries with stems
- 2 cups vodka champagne or bourbon
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
- red, white, and green sanding sugar
Instructions
- First, soak cherries in your favorite alcohol (vodka, bourbon, champagne) for 12 hours or overnight in the refrigerator.
- Then, remove cherries, drain and gently pat dry with a paper towel. Make sure the cherries don't have any liquid on them.
- Place the white chocolate chips in a bowl, and heat in the microwave in 20-second intervals. Stir in between, until fully melted.
- Dip each cherry two-thirds of the way into the melted white chocolate, twisting it slightly to help the chocolate stick.
- Next, dip the cherry in red, green, or white sanding sugar, coating it halfway up the white chocolate coating.
- Chill in refrigerator for 20-30 minutes before serving.
