Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1/2 pound of fresh dark sweet cherries, stems on
- 1 bag Wilton Candy Cane Candy Melts
- 1 container Wilton Edible Glitter Silver Stars
Instructions
- Wash and thoroughly dry the cherries. Discard any damaged cherries.
- Melt the candy cane Candy Melts according to the package instructions, using a chocolate melting pot or double boiler.
- Hold each cherry by its stem and dip it into the melted coating to the desired depth.
- Gently turn and lift the cherry, allowing excess coating to drip off.
- While the coating is still soft, sprinkle with edible silver stars. Place a few stars on a saucer first to make them easier to control.
- Set the dipped cherries upright on parchment or wax paper until the coating firms. The bottoms may flatten slightly.
- Once the coating is set, refrigerate the cherries promptly in a covered container until ready to serve.
Notes
Storage: These are made with fresh cherries and are perishable. Refrigerate promptly in a covered container at 40°F (4°C) or colder. For best quality, serve within 1 to 2 days. Condensation may affect the appearance when removed from the refrigerator, but do not store fresh dipped cherries at room temperature to avoid condensation.
