As a kid growing up, my mom would buy Cordial Cherries for my sister and I around the holidays. I liked them in a “they’re chocolate and I’m not going to waste them” type of way. (I was more of a Reese’s peanut butter cups kind of girl.) But my sister on the other hand adored Cordial Cherries.

She could down half a box in a single sitting, leaving all of us wondering where she put it, lol!

When you’re a kid, you don’t really care so much about a sugar crash. However, as an adult, I find the desire to avoid a sugar crash is a huge motivator to avoid things that will induce it. As much as I enjoy Cherry Cordials in a nostalgic way, I generally avoid them just to avoid the subsequent crash.

Enter these healthy Chocolate Covered Cherries! With no added sugar, this recipe is great anytime a chocolate craving strikes. Don’t wait until the holidays to make them!

Chocolate Covered Cherries with Description

What Are Chocolate Covered Cherries Called?

Cherry Cordials or Cordial Cherries! These are cherries soaked in a sugar syrup (or sometimes liquor) that are coated with chocolate.

Are Chocolate Covered Cherries Healthy?

In general, like most candy, Chocolate Covered Cherries contains a lot of sugar. Unfortunately, this means they’re not the healthiest choice if you’re trying to limit your sugar intake.

Additionally, regular (i.e., store-bought) Cordial Cherries also contain preservatives because they don’t use fresh cherries.

However, this homemade version has no added sugar and no preservatives! I use 70% cacao dark chocolate to limit the sugar content from the chocolate. They’re a much healthier choice.

How Do You Keep Chocolate Covered Strawberries From Sweating?

A lot of people ask how to prevent chocolate covered strawberries from sweating. It’s the same concept as chocolate covered cherries!

You can line a baking tray with paper towels and store the chocolate covered strawberries (or cherries) on top. The paper towels will help absorb the moisture. However, there’s really no way to prevent condensation from occurring.

Pro Tip: I find that the best solution is to make chocolate covered strawberries (or cherries) on the day you want to eat them. Luckily this recipe takes just 10 minutes!

Can You Freeze Chocolate Covered Cherries?

I don’t recommend freezing or refrigerating these because it will cause them to condense quite a bit.

Course: Dessert
Cuisine: American
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Servings: 10 servings
Calories: 70kcal
Author: Faith Gorsky

Ingredients

  • 100 g 70% cacao dark chocolate chopped or broken into pieces
  • 20 frozen pitted sweet cherries
  • Flaky sea salt optional

Instructions

  • Melt the chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl or in a double boiler.
  • Dip a frozen cherry into the chocolate remove it with a fork, and let the excess chocolate run off. Place the cherry on a parchment paper-lined tray. Continue until all the cherries are dipped.
  • If desired, sprinkle on a little bit of flaky sea salt before the chocolate sets.
  • Serve them as soon as possible (I try to serve them within an hour of making them), to avoid the chocolate condensing too much.

Helpful Tips

  • Net Carbs: 6g per serving (2 cherries)
  • When you use frozen cherries, you have to dip the cherries while they’re still frozen. This recipe will also work with pitted fresh cherries.
  • The chocolate will set almost immediately because the cherries are frozen.
  • Instead of sprinkling the tops with sea salt, you can drizzle it with melted white chocolate if desired.
  • I prefer to make these about 10 minutes before I want to serve them. This gives the frozen cherry time to thaw, but it’s not long enough so that the chocolate has started to “sweat” (i.e., condense and release liquid) too much. I don’t recommend refrigerating or freezing Chocolate Covered Cherries because it causes them to condense quite a bit.

Pelmeni are Russian meat dumplings frequently serv Pelmeni are Russian meat dumplings frequently served with a dollop of sour cream and a sprinkling of fresh dill. You can boil or fry them, they freeze like a dream (and they cook directly from frozen!), and they make a big batch so you’ll have a freezer stash of easy dinners for busy nights. But fair warning, these are definitely a labor of love. I made them last spring on a Zoom call with ma chérie Evelyne of @cultureatz that involved ridiculous amounts of laughter, and the shenanigans of us hand making about 100 dumplings each! I’m definitely a bad blogger for not sharing the recipe until now lol. But it’s (finally!) up and you can check it out on @anediblemosaic 🥰 —> https://www.anediblemosaic.com/pelmeni-recipe-russian-dumplings/ #dumplings #dumplingsfordays #russianfood #pelmeni #foodstyling #foodstylist #foodphotography #photography #moodygrams #lightandshadow
The other day Dan and I were at an antique store a The other day Dan and I were at an antique store and we happened to find one of the vendors who was putting out #vintage #valentinesday cards she had found in one of her storage units. 💌 These are from the 1930s/1940s! She was a third generation antique dealer and she said she still has several full rooms to sort through! (I love the treasure hunt of that, it’s like exploring in your grandparents’ attic.) Anyway, I had to buy a couple cards because they’re completely charming. #happyvalentinesday, lovelies. 🥰 #valentines #romantic #flatlay #valentinesmood #vintageprops #propstyling #propstylist #photography
#ad If you’re looking for a romantic meal to mak #ad If you’re looking for a romantic meal to make for your sweetheart for Valentine’s Day this weekend, you’ve come to the right place! This meal is easy, fast (no one will guess it whips up in less than 15 minutes!), and impressive. And soooo good. 🥰
 
What’s on the menu? Pan seared chicken in a savory cream sauce. Steamed green beans. And Fresh Blends Ready to Cook Idaho Potatoes!
 
Let’s talk sides first. Steamed green beans are easy, and they round out the meal well. Or you could go with broccoli if you want.
 
The real star of the side dish show are these flavorful @eagleeyeproduce potatoes! They’re family grown in Idaho. Fresh-cut, never cooked, never frozen, with no preservatives. And they cook up easily with a one-step cooking process (just 8 minutes in the microwave, or you can do them on the stovetop to get them crispy). Check out their website to find their store locator to see where they’re available near you --> https://eagleeyeproduce.com/store-locator/
 
And now the chicken! Inspired by the famous “Marry Me Chicken”, this recipe checks all the right boxes and has all the bells and whistles. Chicken cutlets cook up quick on the stovetop, and then a luscious cream sauce flavored with garlic, fresh herbs, and sundried tomatoes cooks in the same skillet. Take a look at the recipe in the comments below.
 
Who says a beautiful, romantic meal has to be complicated, right? ❤️

This small batch recipe of Red Velvet Cupcakes is This small batch recipe of Red Velvet Cupcakes is the perfect dessert for you and your sweetheart this Valentine's Day, and it's even more special because it was made for a cause. ❤️

This is the 5th year in a row that Julie from @thelittlekitchn has organized the Cookies for Kid's Cancer Valentine's Event to raise money and awareness for childhood cancer, and I'm honored to be part of it.

Cancer is the top cause of death of children by disease in the U.S. There are 40,000 U.S. children actively battling cancer right now. And the National Cancer Institute’s budget for childhood cancer is less than 4%.⁣

You can help make a difference by donating to @cookies4kids. Our goal is to raise at least $3000. Thank you to @OXO, @Mediavine and @Dixie_Crystals who have each pledged to match our donations raised through this campaign up to $3000!⁣
