Tips:

  • Use fresh cherries: Fresh cherries have the best flavor and texture for this recipe. If you can't find fresh cherries, you can use frozen cherries that have been thawed and drained.
  • Pit the cherries: Before you dip the cherries in chocolate, you need to pit them. You can use a cherry pitter to make this task easier.
  • Use high-quality chocolate: The quality of the chocolate you use will greatly affect the final product. Use a chocolate that you enjoy eating on its own.
  • Temper the chocolate: Tempering the chocolate will help it set properly and give it a glossy finish. You can temper chocolate in a microwave or on a stovetop.
  • Be patient: Dipping the cherries in chocolate takes time and patience. Don't rush the process or you'll end up with messy cherries.

Conclusion:

Double chocolate-covered cherries are a delicious and decadent treat that are perfect for any occasion. They're also relatively easy to make, especially if you follow these tips with patience! So next time you're looking for a special dessert, give these chocolate-covered cherries a try. You won't be disappointed!
