These pops were a little too tart for my taste, but I think that's just because I used sour cherries. I'll try using sweeter cherries next time.

I had a hard time getting the chocolate to stick to the cherries. I ended up having to use a toothpick to hold them in place.

I used dark chocolate instead of milk chocolate and they turned out great! I also added some chopped nuts for a little extra crunch.
