Wonderful Candies Two Ways
Main Ingredients: Butter, Sweetened Condensed Milk, Confectioners Sugar
End your meal with a sweet treat by making these two types of candies - cherry and beer-infused truffles and chocolate-covered cherries. They are the perfect accompaniment to beer can chicken and will satisfy any sweet cravings you may have. Pro tip: Use a high-quality dark chocolate for a richer and more complex taste.
Ingredients:
For the chocolate:
Semisweet chocolate chips
Unsalted butter
Vanilla extract
For the filling:
Maraschino cherries
Butter
Powdered sugar
Milk
Salt
Almond extract
Before starting the recipe, make sure to drain and pat dry the maraschino cherries. This will prevent the filling from becoming too watery and affecting the consistency of the chocolate coating.
Instructions:
Begin by melting the semisweet chocolate chips and butter in a double boiler or in the microwave. Stir until smooth and then add in the vanilla extract.
Take a maraschino cherry and dip it into the chocolate mixture, using a spoon to fully coat the cherry. Place the coated cherry onto a parchment-lined baking sheet and repeat with the remaining cherries. Place the baking sheet in the fridge to allow the chocolate coating to set.
In a separate bowl, mix together the powdered sugar, butter, milk, salt, and almond extract until a smooth and creamy filling forms.
Remove the chocolate-covered cherries from the fridge and use a piping bag or small spoon to fill each cherry with the prepared filling. Be sure to leave a small amount of space at the top to allow for the chocolate coating.
Once all the cherries are filled, return the baking sheet to the fridge to allow the filling to set for about 10-15 minutes.
Once the filling has set, use the remaining chocolate mixture to coat the tops of the cherries. Use a spoon to smooth out the chocolate and cover any gaps in the coating.
Place the finished chocolate-covered cherries back in the fridge to allow the chocolate to fully set. Once set, they are ready to be enjoyed!
These chocolate covered cherries are not only delicious, but they also make for a beautiful and festive addition to any New Year's celebration. With just a few simple ingredients and easy steps, you can impress your guests with this homemade treat. So go ahead and give this recipe a try, and ring in the New Year with a decadent and sweet treat!
