Description

Chocolate covered cherries with alcohol are a decadent and delicious treat. They’re perfect for holiday parties, special occasions, or just because. This is a simple recipe that’s sure to be a hit! The alcohol-infused cherries add a unique and flavorful twist to the traditional chocolate covered cherry. The cherries are soaked in alcohol, then dipped in dark chocolate and rolled in crushed nuts. The end result is a sweet and boozy treat that’s sure to please.

Ingredients

For this recipe, you’ll need:

  • 1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
  • 1/2 cup of your favorite alcohol (rum, whiskey, etc.)
  • 1 (12-ounce) package semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped nuts (optional)
  • 2 pounds of maraschino cherries (with stems)

Instructions

1. In a small bowl, combine the condensed milk and alcohol. Stir to combine.

2. Pour the mixture into a shallow dish. Add the cherries and stir to coat. Let the cherries soak for at least 1 hour.

3. Remove the cherries from the dish and drain off the excess liquid. Place on a paper towel and pat dry.

4. Line a baking sheet with wax paper. Place the cherries on the lined sheet.

5. In a double boiler, melt the chocolate chips. Dip each cherry in the melted chocolate and turn gently to coat. Lift the cherry out of the chocolate and allow the excess chocolate to drip off.

6. Roll the cherries in the chopped nuts, if desired. Place the cherries back on the wax paper and allow the chocolate to set completely.

7. Once the chocolate is set, transfer the cherries to an airtight container and refrigerate until ready to serve.

Equipment

For this recipe, you’ll need a few pieces of equipment:

  • Small bowl

Notes

It’s important to use semi-sweet chocolate chips for this recipe. Milk chocolate chips will be too sweet and will not set properly. Also, the cherries should be completely dry before dipping in the chocolate.
