How To make Chocolate Covered Candied Cherries
50 Whole candied cherries
3/4 c Cherry brandy
1/2 lb Sweet milk chocolate, broken
-into pieces 1/4 lb Unsweetened baking
-chocolate, broken into -pieces 1 1/3 c Powdered sugar
3 tb Unsweetened cocoa
Powdered sugar Unsweetened cocoa Soak the cherries in the brandy overnight or longer. Drain cherries, reserve the brandy. Cream butter and sugar with a mixer. In a double boiler, melt the chocolates. Spoon the melted chocolate, spoon by spoon, into the butter and sugar mixture and mix thoroughly by hand. Add reserved brandy to sugar and chocolate mixture and stir in my hand until all is absorbed. Add 3 T. cocoa and mix by hand. Put mixture in a clean bowl and thoroughly chill in the freezer. Meanwhile, make a 50-50 mixture of powdered sugar and cocoa. Begin with 1/3 c. EACH and mix thoroughly. Heavily dust a sheet of waxed paper on a working surface. When the chocolate mixture is chilled and very stiff, remove from the freezer. Drop by teaspoonfuls on dusted working surface and dust your fingers in the sugar/cocoa mixture, press with fingers to make a small flat shape with the chocolate. Drop a cherry in the center and form a ball around the cherry. Working quickly, complete the shape by rolling the ball between your palms. Roll ball in sugar/cocoa mixture to coat. Continue working until the chocolate mixture is too soft to continue. Return to freezer to chill some more and continue until all the chocolate and cherries are gone. The chocolate covered cherries can be stored in the frig. For a lighter, sweeter chocolate taste, increase the sweet chocolate and decrease or eliminate the unsweetened chocolate. The more milk chocolate you use, the more diffucult it will be to work with as it melts rather rapidly. You can also substitute and equal portion of semi-sweet bits (toll house chocolates) for the chocolate. Other candied fruit and liquors can be used according to your taste. Enjoy!

Here is the recipe:
Melt your confectionery chocolate in the microwave. Fill the mold completely with chocolate and then dump it out so the mold has an even coating of chocolate. Let it firm up in the refrigerator for a few minutes. Make the fondant filling by pouring a 1 lb bag of dry fondant into the mixer. Add 6 tablespoons of butter, a teaspoon of invertase, and two tablespoons of a liquid of your choice. Mix until the texture is no longer grainy. Taking the mold out of the fridge, insert a dollop of fondant into the mold and place a cherry on top. Cover the top of the cherry with fondant and place the mold again in the refrigerator. After a few minutes, take the mold out and add the final layer of chocolate.
And here are the links to purchase the materials and tools if you decide to try this at home...

HOW TO MAKE CHOCOLATE COVERED CHERRIES (VEGAN)
#Christmas#vegan #chocolatecoveredcherries
Chocolate covered cherries are a delicious and special treat to make as a holiday gift or for any special occasion. This recipe is super simple and can be made without any special equipment. I took an old favorite recipe and veganized it - the results were spectacular! To make them, you'll need:
6 10 ounce jars of maraschino cherries (with stems)
1/4 C dark rum (or Invertase if you prefer non-alcohol)
1 14 ounce can of sweetened condensed milk (sweetened condensed coconut milk, if vegan)
2 Tbsp plus 2 tsp light corn syrup
1/2 tsp almond extract
2 lbs confectioner's sugar
1 1/2 lbs coating chocolate - I used King David's vegan chocolate melts - link:
