Ingredients
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 dry the cherries. Do not use any that are damaged for this recipe.
- Melt the candy melts in either a chocolate melting pot or a double boiler.
- Once the candy melts are melted, begin dipping the cherries, one at a time, into the white chocolate. It is up to you how far into the white chocolate you dip each cherry.
- Swirl the cherry as you lift it out of the chocolate to remove any excess.
- Hold it over a paper towel or plate while the chocolate is still warm and sprinkle the edible glitter silver stars onto the chocolate. These come out really fast, so putting them on a saucer where you can pick up a few at a time is a good idea.
- Either hold onto the cherry long enough for the chocolate to dry or simply sit it upright on wax paper. If you sit it upright, the bottom will flatten some.
- Once the chocolate is completely dry, either put them into a sealed container in an area that is not too hot so the chocolate won't melt, or serve them immediately.
Notes
Note: I do not advise storing these in a refrigerator because of the condensation that will occur when you remove these from the refrigerator.
