You can prepare these ahead. The candy just gets better as it is stored, with the centers becoming even juicier.

The chocolate didn't set properly and the cherries were a little messy to eat.

I had a hard time finding cherries that were the right size. I ended up using a mix of large and small cherries.

The chocolate was a little too sweet for my taste, but the cherries were delicious.

These are the best chocolate-covered cherries I've ever had! The chocolate is so smooth and the cherries are so plump and juicy.

I've made this recipe twice now and it's always a crowd-pleaser. The cherries are perfectly tart and the chocolate is rich and creamy.
