Maraschino cherries – This recipe will make 36 chocolate covered cherries. Make sure to find the pre-pitted maraschino cherries with the stems still attached. You’ll drain all of the maraschino cherry juice and let the cherries dry. Butter – about three tablespoons, and make sure it’s softened to room temperature. Corn syrup – This adds a sticky sweet texture to the candy mixture. Sometimes I like to add a tiny bit of almond extract for added flavor. Powdered sugar – also known as confectioners’ sugar. Be sure to sift the sugar to make it light and airy. Chocolate chips – or chocolate candy melts. About a bag and a half is perfect. You can use semi-sweet chocolate chips, milk chocolate, white chocolate, or even dark chocolate. Oil – Vegetable oil works great, but you can also use coconut oil.
