These were pretty good, but I guess I was expecting a liquid center like most chocolate covered cherries have. I read reviews that say they will liquify if left sitting, but it has been about a week. I keep tasting one a day and they still do not have a liquid center, but they do taste good.

These are really good. This is the third year that my cousin and I have made them together for Valentine's Day. They are a lot of work but they are really good! Thanks! :D

You must try this recipe - it is out of this world! The only change I made was to soak the cherries in rum for 2 weeks!! I took a Christmas goodies basket to work and my boss kept going on about the "chocolates" he thought I had bought! I also took them to a New Year's dinner with the same results! I have my second batch of cherries soaking in rum as we speak! I was able to find cherries with stems at Wal*Mart - won't that make them seem even more delectable!! I have to say I think this is my favorite recipe from Recipezaar and is fast becoming my signature goodie to make! Thank you so much for sharing!!

DEE-LISH-IOUS! I surprised my BF with these candies (he loves chocolate covered cherries,)and he has been snarfing these babies down! They are so addictive! The longer they sit, the better. With Christmas coming up, I am planning to make several batches of your chocolate covered cherries to give to friends and family as gifts! Thanks Divine!
