Chocolate Covered Cherries #SundaySupper

February 22, 2015 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 47 Comments

Hi Everyone,

Today for #SundaySupper we are having  a Red Carpet Party!!  Woohoo!  Everyone just loves a good party!  And what goes best with a party besides friends?  Food!  Beyond socializing, I think the only reason I go to a party is to see what kind of food I can eat. Hey, what can I say?  I’m a foodie!  lol  Since today we are celebrating the red carpet I thought I would share with you a super simple, low-calorie, chocolate treat that won’t get your hands dirty or dribble down your dress, it’s my Chocolate Covered Cherries.
Chocolate Covered Cherries #SundaySupper
These little chocolate cherries takes just minutes to make and to be honest, they taste way better than store-bought chocolate covered cherries. They are made with three ingredients, dark chocolate, coconut oil and maraschino cherries. It can’t get any simpler than that. Plus they are so addicting, just pop in your mouth and enjoy! It’s really hard to eat just one.
Chocolate Covered Cherries  #SundaySupper
The key thing to making chocolate covered cherries is using maraschino cherries with a stem. If you do not have the ones with the stem, I think they would be a pain in the butt to make. All I did was grab the stem and dip in melted chocolate. A quick dip is all you need. Plus you can just grab the cherry by the stem and eat the cherry part. Your hands will never touch the chocolate. So the chocolate will melt in your mouth and not in your hand. 🙂

Maraschino Cherries dipped in dark chocolate. It's low calorie, easy to make and tastes better than store bought.
Author: Jennifer Drummond
Recipe type: Candy
Serves: 28
Ingredients
  • 1 cup dark chocolate melting wafers
  • 1 tsp. coconut oil
  • 10 oz. jar Maraschino Cherries with a stem (28 cherries)
Instructions
  1. Drain the cherries from the jar (reserve the juice for another use) and with a paper towel, light dab them so they are dried.
  2. Line a baking sheet or your counter with parchment paper.
  3. In a microwave safe cup (I used a Pyrex Measuring Cup). add chocolate and coconut oil. Place int he microwave and cook for 30 seconds, stir and cook for another 20 seconds or until chocolate is melted.
  4. Take the cherries by the stem and simply dip in the melted chocolate. Place on the parchment paper. Do this until all cherries are covered in chocolate.
  5. Let the chocolate covered cherries rest for 30 minutes or until harden.
  6. I recommend refrigerating the cherries until ready to eat. I don't trust fruit on the counter.
Notes
I didn't calculate the calories for this recipe because I had left over chocolate. I am guessing each cherry is about 25 calories.

Chocolate Covered Cherries #SundaySupper
I really love simple recipes like this. These make for a great little dessert when you have a craving for chocolate. Plus I love that they are portion control, and easy to make. The only problem is that they are so easy to make that you can have them at your finger tips in a matter of minutes. Meaning I can eat these all of the time.

Be sure to check out what the other members have made for the Red Carpet Party!

Have a great rest of the weekend!


Toodles,

Jennifer

Happy spooky Thursday! I added a few touches of Ha Happy spooky Thursday! I added a few touches of Halloween in my kitchen. I don’t do much Halloween decorations, but I just love to add it to the kitchen. Every time I go to the kitchen it makes me smile.
🦇
To add Fall or Halloween you don’t need to add a lot, just a few touches here and there. I will give a full tour in stories and tag a few items. Majority of the decor came from @krumpetshomedecor and the towels and bat banner from @theblessedpeach 
🦇
Have the best day!

Hello Tuesday! Hope you are doing well. It’s sta Hello Tuesday! Hope you are doing well. It’s starting to feel like Fall here in Northern California. The mornings and evenings are feeling crisp. I can’t get over that we are in the middle of September. Where did the Summer go?
🎃
I’m sharing with you the corner of my living room where I store my pumpkins that I grew before I can take them outside. It’s been too warm for them and I want them to last through October. They have been doing well, as they have been here since the middle of August. 
🎃
I’m excited because this Saturday our local pumpkin patch will be opening. They have a huge variety of pumpkins and very inexpensive too. I’ll be stocking up. I just love this time of year.
🎃
Have a wonderful day!

Happy Monday! I want to thank those who have reach Happy Monday! I want to thank those who have reached out to me asking if I am okay. I am doing just fine. I’ve taken a little break from posting here because I have been busy on the dogs Instagram page. It’s hard to keep up on both. The dog page is so busy with birthdays, events and engagement. They have a busier social life than me. 
🩵
I am sharing with you the last view of my kitchen before it is filled with Halloween. I spent 6 hours yesterday cleaning all the cabinets, appliances, sink and floor. I even did the windows. It sure tired me out. I’m not as young as I used to be. But it is so sparkly clean. I did put up my Halloween and I can’t wait to share with you. The dining room is the next room to conquer.
🩵
Have a wonderful day!!

Hi, it’s me Samuel!! I am taking over mamas page Hi, it’s me Samuel!! I am taking over mamas page today because I got the best gift in the whole world and it even came in the mail on my birthday. How did @downlitebedding know? They are so good!
🐾
Downlite Bedding sent me the EnviroLoft® Down Alternative PrimaCool™ Cooling Comforter. Isn’t it beautiful? It’s so soft, cozy, hypoallergenic and it makes me so happy. 
🐾
The comforter is 400 thread count, it has moisture wicking and cooling technology to help regulate body temperature, which is perfect since I get warm in the summer with all my hair and I like to be cool when I’m sleeping. A big plus is the comforter is white, I hide very well in it. It’s hard to see me. So mama can’t catch me on her bed. 
🐾
The EnviroLoft® Down Alternative PrimaCool™ Cooling Comforter also has a Scotchguard stain release fabric and machine wash and dry. It’s truly an amazing comforter.
🐾
Mama let me do this takeover today because she knows that I love @downlitebedding as much as she does. She said she has never seen me get so excited as I do when we get Downlite Bedding and pillows in the mail. How can I not get excited? It’s like sleeping on a cloud!
🐾
Downlite Bedding was kind enough to give us a 20% discount:  DYGEN20 
🐾
Have a great day and happy napping!
🐾
❤️Samuel

Happy Thursday! Here is a view of my garden that I Happy Thursday! Here is a view of my garden that I took a couple weeks ago. My garden really overgrew this season. I need to do some major work in it, but with the heat, it’s just unbearable to be out there too long.
🌼
I had a lot of zinnias self-seed this season which is cool, but they kind of took over. They crowded out some plants, so I need to get in there and pull some out. Plus being so crowded, they got powdery mildew. Yuck!
🌼
I’m thinking for the Fall making this area a little harvest pumpkin area. We will see. I have grand ideas in my head, but I don’t always follow through. lol
🌼
How your garden growing? I lost all my potted plants from the heat. 😩

Hello Monday! This weekend I made a little charcut Hello Monday! This weekend I made a little charcuterie setup for my husband and I. This is something that I just love to do. I could just eat this type of meal all day long. 

I am sharing the “All White Collection” from @bzaar_wholesale. Each piece to the collection is so elegant and can be used all year round and would be gorgeous around the holidays.

The tray is made of marble with beautiful gold handles. The cheese knives are gold with solid marble handles and compliments the tray perfectly.

I used the marble flower shaped bowl for putting chocolates, but would be so stunning to use on your coffee table, side table and more.

The cake stand is has a marble base with Mother of Pearl edging and has a glass lid to go over the top. I will be putting my cakes and cookies on it in the future, but for now I used it to place my bruschetta.

@bzaar_wholesale has amazing products for your home, great pricing and global shipping. The link is in my bio.

Do you like making charcuterie boards? What do you add to yours?

Hello, hello! It may be 100 degrees outside, but I Hello, hello! It may be 100 degrees outside, but I can’t resist putting out some Fall. Especially when you get new decor from @12timbers.  You would laugh if you came into my living-room. Half my room is Fall, the other half is still coastal blues. lol I’ll eventually change it all out.
🍂
Let’s talk the art work. Isn’t it stunning? My husband never says anything about my decor, but he keeps talking about how much he likes the framed art from 12 Timbers. I agree, it’s so beautiful. It reminds me of when I lived back east and we would go to Letchworth Park in NY. The colors are stunning and goes perfectly with the burnt orange color that I’m using this season.
🍂
I just adore the wooden cut out pumpkins from @12Timbers. When I look at them they make me smile. The orange wooden leaf is the perfect piece to bring everything together. This gets me so excited for Fall decorating. Now to finish the rest of the living room.
🍂
12 Timbers is so kind to give me a discount code. It’s good until Saturday at midnight. The code is PBANDP15.
🍂
Have the most beautiful day!

Look at this friends! It’s my first Fall vignett Look at this friends! It’s my first Fall vignette. Notice anything that seems a tad early? It’s my first pumpkin from my garden. Can you believe it? They started to grow early this season so it’s time to start picking. Unfortunately the massive one I showed you a couple weeks ago didn’t make it. It collapsed in the middle. That makes me sad, but at least I have more pumpkins growing.
🎃
I really had fun bringing out some Fall decor. Fall is not my favorite season, as I love Spring and Summer, but Fall is my favorite to decorate for.
🎃
I wanted to share with you my new reversible blocks from @krumpetshomedecor. Aren’t they cute. They would look so pretty on a shelf. The one side says Fall and the other side says Boo! The two wooden pumpkins are also from Krumpets Home Decor.
🎃
The Fall blocks are the Krumpets Home Decor deal of the week. Plus you get an additional 10% off with code: PBANDP. Link in my bio.

What is your favorite season to decorate for?

Hello Tuesday! One of my favorite summer drinks is Hello Tuesday! One of my favorite summer drinks is a nice cold glass of lemonade. I like it a tad sour over sweet. It gives you the zippys in your mouth. I do love a good homemade lemonade, but once in awhile I like to cheat and just get my favorite store brand and add some freshly cut lemons and a few sprigs of mint. It then looks homemade when it’s not.
🍋
This is my outdoor dining area. I put the tablecloth over the table and have kept it like that all summer. I love my table, but being black, it’s extremely hot when you touch it. Plus it has water spots from last year which is annoying. Not sure how to get rid of them? 
🍋
What is your favorite summer drink? Have a wonderful day!

Happy Monday! Now I know what you are thinking, Ha Happy Monday! Now I know what you are thinking, Halloween and Fall decor in July? Have I lost my mind? Nope, I haven’t, but on Saturday @krumpetshomedecor launched their Fall and Halloween! Soooooooo many cute pieces, I’m obsessed!
🎃
It’s hard to imagine Fall in a couple of months when the temps have been in the 100’s, but it will be here soon. Time to start planning!!! 
🎃
How I styled my bar cart is just an idea. Once I pull out my Fall/Halloween bins you will see these pieces in other parts of my home. The black wooden witches books will go in my kitchen to go with my black and white kitchen that I do every Halloween. The witches broom will also go on my shelf in the kitchen as my boys 🐶🐶 have been eyeing it up. I need to keep it away from them.
🎃
The beautiful reversible art work will go in my living room, as I like to do oranges and neutrals for fall. The 3 wooden pumpkins will go on my console table. I have it all planned out in my head. I’m kind of excited, but I will enjoy summer a little while longer.
