DIRECTIONS
1. Prep the Cherries
Serving Suggestion: Cherry Bomb Drink
- Drain the Reese Maraschino Cherries well and pat them completely dry using paper towels. This ensures the chocolate sticks properly and doesn’t discolor.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the white chocolate in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until smooth.
- Mix in 1 tsp of coconut oil to give the chocolate a glossy finish and smooth texture.
- Hold each Maraschino Cherry by the stem (or use a toothpick if no stem is available) and dip it into the melted chocolate, letting any excess drip off.
- Immediately roll or lightly dip the chocolate-covered cherry into a shallow dish of edible glitter, ensuring even coverage.
- Place the glittery cherries on a parchment-lined baking sheet and refrigerate for 15–20 minutes, or until the chocolate is firm.
Serving Suggestion: Cherry Bomb Drink
- Choose your favorite champagne (white, rosé, or red/grape).
- Sprinkle a bit of fine edible glitter into the glass for a dazzling touch.
- Drop in a NYE Cherry Bomb, pour the champagne over, and give it a gentle stir.
- Sip and enjoy your festive, sparkling drink!
