Enjoy your holiday season with this easy and delicious dessert recipe. These chocolate covered bourbon cherries from Southern food blog, Quiche My Grits, are “quick and easy to make,” blog creator Debi Morgan says in her post. “You’ll love the explosion of bourbon flavor followed by the bitterness of semi-sweet chocolate,” Morgan says, adding that a glass of red wine pairs perfectly with the adult-only treat.
Ingredients:
1 – 16 oz. jar maraschino cherries with stems
1 cup bourbon (or liquor of your choice)
12 oz. semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 Tbsp. coconut oil
Instructions:
1. Drain cherry juice from jar. Place cherries in a bowl or airtight container.
2. Pour bourbon over cherries until they are covered. Refrigerate overnight.
3. Drain bourbon from cherries. Pat cherries with a paper towel to dry.
4. Melt chocolate chips and coconut oil in a microwave at 30-second intervals, stirring each time. Chocolate is ready when it is completely smooth.
5. Holding the stem of one cherry at a time, dip it into the chocolate. Use a spoon to help cover the cherries with chocolate.
6. Transfer the chocolate-covered cherries to a parchment-lined baking sheet to cool. Refrigerate cherries for one hour so chocolate will set.
