Brandy-soaked cherries can be left in the freezer for up to two days before you dip them into the chocolate.
How to Make It
Step 1
Drain maraschino cherries, and return to jar. Pour brandy, if desired, in jar; cover with a lid, and freeze 8 hours. Drain cherries, and pat dry, reserving brandy for another use.
Step 2
Melt two-thirds of chocolate baking squares in a saucepan over medium heat, stirring until a candy thermometer reaches 115°. Remove from heat; add remaining chocolate, and stir until candy thermometer reaches 89° and chocolate is smooth.
Step 3
Dip cherries quickly into melted chocolate, coating well. Place cherries on wax paper, stem sides up, and cool.
