Tips:
- Use fresh or frozen cherries for the best flavor.
- If using frozen cherries, thaw them completely before using.
- Be sure to drain the cherries well before dipping them in the melted chocolate.
- If the chocolate is too thick, you can thin it out with a little bit of vegetable oil.
- If you don't have a candy thermometer, you can test the temperature of the chocolate by dropping a small amount into cold water. If the chocolate hardens immediately, it is ready.
- Once the cherries are dipped in chocolate, place them on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet and refrigerate until the chocolate is set.
