I've never made chocolate-covered cherries before, but this recipe made it so easy. They turned out perfectly and they were so delicious. I'll definitely be making these again.

These chocolate-covered cherries are a bit too sweet for my taste, but they're still pretty good. I think I'll try making them again with a darker chocolate next time.

I'm not a big fan of chocolate-covered cherries, but I tried these and they were actually really good! The chocolate was smooth and creamy and the cherries were plump and juicy.

I tried making these chocolate-covered cherries but they didn't turn out so well. The chocolate didn't set properly and they were a bit too sweet for my taste.
