These turned out so good and were so easy to make. No one could believe that they didn't come from a gourmet chocolate store!

I made these to give as gifts to my friends for Valentine’s Day. These were very good and pretty sweet. I measured the dough into teaspoons and rolled into a ball before flattening with the bottom of a glass dipped in powdered sugar. This made it a uniform thickness and was perfectly round and wrapped around the cherries nicely. I was disappointed with the chocolate not having a shine to it. I think I will use Ghirardelli Candy Making & Dipping Chocolate next time - it tastes great, is wonderful to work with, and leaves a nice shine to the candy. It’s just hard to find unless it is Christmas time. Great recipe. I will make these again.

These are great! And easy too! My friends and I really enjoy eating these each year at Christmas time. I let mine sit in my pantry for a week or two and they get really nice and gooey.

Although these took a little more effort than I expected, they were VERY good. Choc Cov Cherries are one of my husbands' favorites, and about a week after he ate some of these I didn't feel like making them again so I bought him a box. Big mistake. The boxed ones fall so flat against these, especially if you use good chocolate. One thing - make sure you use a VERY THIN coating of the sugar dough, if it's too thick it won't soften enough, and I did keep mine in the fridge. Thanks for the recipe!

These were much easier than I anticipated to make. I followed the directions exactly. I let them sit for over a week and they still didn't turn 100% to liquid. Maybe they aren't supposed to?? The taste was good, but I still prefer the ones from the store!

These are AWESOME! And way easier than I ever thought Chocolate Covered Cherries would be. I only got about 48 out if it, but I probably used a bit too much dough on the first few cherries. I only had a few that I had trouble getting the stems out of, so I kept those for myself. I gave about 30 of them out as gifts for Christmas, and everyone who received them was very impressed.

These were very good and easy to make. I found it helpful to freeze the cherries (with the dough on them)before you dip them in chocolate so the dough won't melt off.

DO NOT USE butter with the chocolate. Keep hands cold and roll cherries in powdered sugar. Pull fondant into a flat piece to wrap. Use only fingertips.
