- Line a cookies sheet with parchment paper or a non-stick silicone baking mat.
- Drain cherries and pat dry. Chill in fridge for about 10 minutes while your prepare your toppings.
- Using a double boiler or microwave-safe bowl, melt the white chocolate.
- Use a spoon to place a dollop of white chocolate into the center of each brownie cupcake.
- Add 2-3 drops of blue food coloring to remaining white chocolate in mixing bowl along with one teaspoon of coconut oil. Stir together until smooth and color is a rich, light blue.
- Remove cherries from fridge. Dip each cherry into the blue chocolate, roll in sprinkles, and place on your lined cookie sheet to dry.
Put it All Together:
- When coating on cherries is hardened, gently press each cherry into the center of the white chocolate on cupcakes. If needed, add a bit of the remaining blue chocolate from your mixing bowl under the cherry to act as a "glue."
- Allow cupcakes to set completely before serving.
