Chocolate Covered Cherries

Christmas time brings on all the wonderful traditions and also the stores are stocked with once a year treats. Chocolate Covered Cherries are a yearly addition to the store shelves but being adventurous in the kitchen, I found a recipe that is SO very delicious and easy to make. These taste like the Cordial Cherry’s but the center doesn’t get goopy and messy. Win Win!!!
