Irresistible Chocolate-Covered Cherry Treats
These chocolate-covered cherry delights are a luscious combination of ripe cherries and rich chocolate coating. The sweet and tart cherries paired with the creamy chocolate create a mouthwatering snack that is hard to resist.
Ingredients
- 1 cup fresh cherries with stems
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil or shortening
- Optional: Sea salt for sprinkling
Instructions
- Prepare the Cherries: Wash the cherries and dry them thoroughly. Ensure they have stems for easy dipping.
- Melt the Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and coconut oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until melted and smooth.
- Dip the Cherries: Hold each cherry by the stem and dip it into the melted chocolate, making sure to coat it completely. Let any excess chocolate drip off.
- Set to Cool: Place the chocolate-covered cherries on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. If desired, sprinkle a tiny pinch of sea salt on top before the chocolate sets.
- Chill: Refrigerate the cherries for about 30 minutes or until the chocolate hardens. Then, serve and enjoy!
