These were good but kinda sweet.I had trouble dipping them because the dough kept melting,so I used the corn-on-the-cob-sticks and stuck them in the cherries and spooned the chocolate over them.

These taste great! I needed more chocolate and added a little more shortening to thin the chocolate a bit, but they turned out very well! I found that the easies way to dip them in the chocolate is to skewer them and dip then gently tap off the excess. Be sure to spray your hands with nonstick spray before rolling the cherries in the dough, it makes life alot easier. They aren't difficult to make and are already a new holiday favorite!

Absolutely wonderful recipe!! It does take some time to make but it is definitely worth it!! Make sure you have extra chocolate on hand because you will need it!! Also I placed the covered cherries on baking sheets in the freezer to set before I covered them in chocolate, which made it easier to keep up with them before they started to melt. Definitely a yummy recipe. If you like the store bought chocolate covered cherries, you will love these!!!

This recipe turned out great. I wasn't expecting much as this was my first attempt at anything like this, but the chocolate covered cherries taste just like the ones you buy from the store. I had some difficulty handling the dough at first, but I devised a method of wrapping the cherries and from then on it was fun (if a little time consuming). I have to remind my sister the cordials are gifts for others and not just herself. Great recipe!

What a mess! Recipe didn't bother to mention that the moment you remove the cherries from the freezer they begin to melt. After the first 10 were chocolate coated, the rest were oozing masses of goo. I had to throw them - as I did with the recipe. Big waste of time and even bigger waste of money.

Excellent! I made these for a party and what a hit. next time I'm going to halve the "dough" and use one jar of cherries. I would reccomend coating your hands with powdered sugar when you get ready to assemble.

Great recipe. Whoever had problems b/c she melted butter with the chocolate -- NEVER melt butter with chocolate. You MUST use shortening. The high water content (20%) makes the chocolate freeze up and you'll ruin the entire batch.

This was such a great recipe. The first time that I've ever made chocolate covered cherries! It made a perfect christmas gift! The dough was at first a little hard to handle, but after it settled, it molded into the cherry fine. A whole lot more chocolate is needed though than what is called for. Other than that, what a treat!

This recipe is great! I've never made chocolate covered cherries before. I was very pleased with the results. I thought the dough would be hard to work with, but it wasn't at all. I drained the cherries and then patted them with paper towels to remove excess moisture. The only problem is that I used at least twice the amount of chocolate that the recipe called for.

To the reviewer who had problems with the fondant sticking to their fingers, try using powdered sugar on your hands and any work surfaces, like you would use flour for bread or cookie dough.

I have made a recipe similar to this for some years but tried this and it worked great. It is not a difficult recipe, but you should plan on taking some time out to make them, or do as I did and wrap and freeze the cherries one day and then dip another. In order to make sure that the batter does not stick, you must make sure to drain your cherries VERY well, and if need be, dust your hands with powdered sugar as needed.

these were so good! so easy to make... i made a few changes to the recipe.. i halved it because i made way too many the first time around... i also found the first ones a bit sweet/rich, so i added about half the juice from one of the jars of cherries.... this made the dough alot stickier so make sure to powder your hands well with sugar! they froze just fine though.. the finished product was alot smooth and less "make your teeth hurt' sweet.. i think they will melt better, too when stored... all in all a delish recipe! oh, and used 4 cups of chocolate chips instead of two and i omitted the shortening, i just had no need for it...

WONDERFUL!!! I am so sorry that the first review is so negative. These will become a holiday tradition at this home! Two minor suggestions for anyone nervous about trying these. First don't melt the butter to mix with the corn syrup, let sit at room temperature until very soft. Next, keep your hands dusted with powdered sugar as you roll the fondant around the cherry. The cherry juice tends to leak out fo the cherry and may make the fondant sticky. WONDERFUL *******

I had so many problems with this recipe! The fondant was sticking to my fingers so much that it was impossible to roll the cherry in the center. I tried wetting my hands but that just made the fondant thin. Also, when I melted the Toll House chocolate chips and butter, the chocolate became a big ball of gunk. My batch went to the trash.

This is the best recipe for chocolate covered cherries that I've found! I love making them in advance and freezing the dough-covered cherries. I pull out as many as I need and dip them in chocolate for a very FRESH flavor.

These were great! A huge hit, especially during the holidays. The first review may be negative because they didn't weigh the powdered sugar? I had no problems. In future I would temper the chocolate though.
