Directions
Double Chocolate Covered Cherries, These candies are delectable Covered first with chocolate and than white chocolate, they are truly decadent! If you’re really a chocolate fanatic (like me), try using semisweet chocolate instead of white for the second coating , My kids needed a project during summer vacation This was one recipe I choose It was fun and easy for them The results were delicious However, here in the west it was very warm and used shortening with my chocolate I wish I had had some paraffin on hand (it is packed away, from moving a couple of months ago and I have not got to those boxes yet) because I think the chocolate would have set up better We kept them in the fridge and they were awesome Thanks!, Loved this! I made them along with other candies to pass out to neighbors and teachers Everyone commented on how much they loved these! used a pp idea to make them into mice w/ the addition of slivered almond ears and Hershey kiss noses This candy will hold a permanent place on my holiday candy tray! Thanks Karen=^ ^= !
