Description

Ingredients

• 12 Maraschino Cherries with stems, drained
• 1/2 cup Light Cocoa Candy Melts
• 12 Hersheys Kisses, unwrapped
• 24 Almond slices
• 1/8 cup White Candy Melts

Directions

• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Melt light cocoa candy melts in microwave or in double boiler.
• Holding a cherry by the stem, dip in the melted chocolate, rolling to coat completely.
• Allow excess chocolate to drain off and lay cherry on its side on the parchment.
• Place an chocolate kiss on chocolate coated cherry (candy flat side against the end opposite the stem end of a cherry)
• Gently insert 2 almond slices between the cherry and the kiss candy to create ears.
• Place in refrigerator for a 5 minutes and allow to cool and set.
• Melt white candy melts in microwave or in double boiler.
• Using toothpick, gather up small bit of melted white chocolate and paint on each eye.
• Allow chocolate to set.
• * If the Kiss candy or almonds doesnt stick well, its likely that the chocolate dried too much or theres not enough. Just dab a little chocolate on the Kiss/almonds and place it on that way.
