Ingredients used for these chocolate cherry cordials
- Stemless maraschino cherries- If you get cherries with stems no biggie, just pop them off before starting the recipe.
- Powdered sugar- Gives the filling it’s melt in your mouth consistency.
- Butter- For the filling, gives it a rich flavor.
- Light corn syrup- Helps the filling come together and have a soft texture.
- Chocolate bark- I like to use chocolate bark for dipping but you can also use white almond bark. I like a rich dark chocolate for them sometimes.
- Red candy melts- For decorating the tops, you can also use sprinkles.
- Green candy melts- For decorating the tops, you can also use sprinkles
