Description
These Chocolate Covered Rum Cherries are a special treat that combines the sweet and tart flavor of cherries with the warm and boozy taste of dark rum. The cherries are soaked in the rum, then covered in a layer of dark chocolate and sprinkled with sea salt. They’re the perfect bite-sized treat to enjoy with your friends and family.
Ingredients
For this recipe, you’ll need the following ingredients:
- 2 cups of fresh cherries, pitted and halved
- 1/2 cup dark rum
- 1 cup dark chocolate chips or chopped dark chocolate
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
Instructions
To make this recipe, start by adding the pitted and halved cherries to a medium-sized bowl. Pour the rum over the cherries and stir until the cherries are evenly coated. Let the cherries sit in the rum for at least 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Once the cherries have had time to soak in the rum, it’s time to make the chocolate coating. Place the dark chocolate chips or chopped dark chocolate in a medium-sized, heat-safe bowl. Place the bowl over a saucepan of simmering water, making sure that the bottom of the bowl doesn’t touch the water. Stir the chocolate occasionally until it’s completely melted.
Once the chocolate is melted, add the cherries to the bowl and stir until all of the cherries are evenly coated. Using a fork, remove the cherries from the bowl and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Sprinkle the sea salt over the cherries and let them cool for at least 10 minutes.
When the cherries have cooled, they’re ready to eat! Enjoy them as a special treat or give them away as gifts.
