Tips:
- Use high-quality chocolate: The chocolate you use will greatly impact the flavor of your cherries, so be sure to use a good-quality chocolate that you enjoy the taste of.
- Soak the cherries for at least 12 hours: This will give the cherries time to absorb the rum and chocolate flavor.
- Use a variety of cherries: You can use any type of cherry you like, but different types of cherries will have different flavors. For example, Rainier cherries are sweet and juicy, while Bing cherries are tart and tangy.
- Add other flavors to the cherries: You can add other flavors to the cherries, such as spices, herbs, or extracts. For example, you could add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg, or a few drops of vanilla extract.
- Serve the cherries chilled: The cherries are best served chilled, so be sure to refrigerate them for at least 30 minutes before serving.
