Chocolate Covered Cherry Delights



You have not tasted an amazing cookie until you've tried these.  I am making three different kinds of chocolate covered cherries for my grandmother's Christmas gift.  CCC are her absolute favorites and somebody always buys her some for Christmas.  This year, I decided I would make her some from scratch.  :)

The first recipe I followed, for true chocolate covered cherries is here.

This recipe is actually for a chocolate cookie, with a cherry in the middle, topped with chocolate-cherry icing.  
Mmm-mmm-good.

Homemade Chocolate Covered Cherries


Every year, someone gives my grandma a box of chocolate covered cherries for Christmas.  She loves them, especially the Queen Anne brand.  It seems like each year, we raise the stakes and the cost of these cherries that we buy here gets higher and higher.  We try to get the most gourmet cherries you've ever tasted.  this year, I decided to make her 4 different types of chocolate covered cherries.  This recipe is for true chocolate covered cherries.  This means that they have sit in the refrigerator for 1-2 weeks, so this is the recipe I made first.
