Instructions

  1. Drain cherry juice from the jar of cherries, then pour in cola.  Tighten lid and refrigerate for 1-2 days.
  2. Line a baking sheet with wax paper and set aside.
  3. Drain cola from jar of cherries and carefully pat cherries dry with paper towels.  Let cherries sit on a piece of folded paper towel while you melt the white chocolate.
  4. Melt chocolate according to package directions (or add to microwave safe bowl and microwave in 20 second bursts, stirring between each burst, until melted).  
  5. Dip cherries 2/3 of the way into the white chocolate, then 1/3 of the way into the blue sugar.
  6. Place on prepared baking sheet and repeat with remaining cherries.

Notes

  • Regular cola can be replaced with another type of cola, vodka, cinnamon whiskey, etc.
