Cherries and chocolate are always a big hit- the best part is when you bite into one and find the cherry surprise! They are a fun (and easy!) treat for Valentine’s Day.
*Some of you had tried these and they went flat, so we modified the recipe and they are turning out MUCH better. This is the modified recipe:
Ingredients:
1 1/2 squares of baking chocolate
1/2 cup butter
1/4 cup powdered sugar
1 (10 oz) jar maraschino cherries
2 T cherry juice from maraschino cherries
1 t vanilla

1/4 cup powdered sugar
1 (10 oz) jar maraschino cherries
2 T cherry juice from maraschino cherries
1 t vanilla
1 1/2 cups flour
1/8 t salt
White chocolate for dipping Directions:
Melt the squares of baking chocolate and add butter. Mix in powdered sugar, cherry juice, and vanilla.
Add the flour and salt and mix well. Knead together into a dough.
Pat dough tightly around each cherry, (make sure cherries are VERY dry).
Bake at 350 for 12 to 15 minutes. Cool thoroughly.
Add the flour and salt and mix well. Knead together into a dough.

Bake at 350 for 12 to 15 minutes. Cool thoroughly.

Did You Make This Recipe?We’d love to hear your thoughts! Leave a review or a question in the comment section below the post.
Those look and sound utterly delicious. I don’t know about making them for Valentine’s Day…I want to make them for me, to eat right now! ;D
I wonder if you could use butter instead of shortening?
These look sooo delicious!!!!
Just made these- but my “balls” flattened into little cookies. 🙁 What did I do wrong??
These look very yummy!
These look great. I just found your blog for the first time tonight. I was drawn to the name of your blog because I have six daughters. We do have one son though. Looks like you girls enjoy each other. Family is such a gift. God bless.
O-M-Geee these look amazing. I am totally making them tonight!

I seriously love Chocolate Covered Cherries so I know I will love these. They are going in my Friday Finds this week, and I will be making them soon. Thanks for sharing.
These chocolate covered cherry cookies look delish! My family loves chocolate covered cherries…I bet they’ll devour these!
I am so sorry!! We have actually had a couple people have the same problem. We actually changed the recipe around after playing with it a little bit. We found that the cake mix dough just wasn’t working right. We are so sorry. We promise that the revised version works a hundred times better!! We have tried them over and over again . . . 🙂
I love this! We just posted our very first Kitchen Fun and Crafty Friday Link Party and we would LOVE for you to stop by and link this up! http://kitchenfunwithmy3sons.blogspot.com/2012/02/kitchen-fun-and-crafty-friday-link.html
Thank you! I’ll have to try out the new recipe! The ones I made didn’t look right, but I sure got compliments on how they tasted! 🙂 Can’t wait to “re-do” them so they look just as awesome as they tasted!! 🙂
