Chocolate Covered Cherries

Chocolate covered cherries are so easy to make! My mother asked for them for Christmas 4 years ago so I obliged and also recorded this video. This video is from 2020 and was my 16th video...ever!! The printable recipe is on my website. www.kimmyssoutherncooking.com I jar Marashino cherries, drained and dried 1/4 c butter, room temperature 3 c powdered sugar 1/4 c sweetened condensed milk 4 t vanilla Pinch of salt 1/4 c shredded coconut (optional) Place drained and dried cherries on paper towel and freeze to roll better. Mix remaining ingredients until mixed well. Shape into ball or disc, wrapp in plastic wrap and chill. Pinch off a piece about the size of an egg yolk. Flatten in hands or a manner that works for you. Using a melting chocolate of your choice, (amount will depend on how many cherries you have), melt and dip chilled cherries and place on wax paper. Store in an air tight container.
