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

This is a view if my livingroom. I really like how I styled my console table. The bunny sign and egg tree are from my friends @12timbers. I’ll be sad when Easter is over.

Today I am sharing with you a spring vignette that I created. I just love tulips this time of year. Though, they seem to be out all year at Trader Joe’s, which is kind of strange. I can’t wait until they get peonies and lilacs. My two favorites.

The candles are from my friends @goldhillcandleco. They are hand poured, 100% soy and have a wooden wick. They smell so fresh and clean. These two candles are from the March subscription box. I highly recommend.

Happy first day of Spring! Though you wouldn’t k Happy first day of Spring! Though you wouldn’t know it in California. We are still getting rain and it’s in the mid 50’s. We should be in the 70’s by now. I wonder what the summer temps will be like this year?
🌺
Even though it may not feel like Spring,  there is no reason why we can’t start prepping for it. It’s going to be time soon to plant flowers, add a floral wreath to the front door and of course a welcome mat to invite everyone to your home. 
🌺
I wanted to share with you my new welcome mat that I got from @cocomatsnmore. They just had their Spring release and oh my gosh so many cute ones. I love there welcome mats. They are thick, bright colors and fast shipping. I absolutely love the flowers and the saying “Live Life in Full Bloom”. It’s so very true.
🌺
What are you most looking forward to this Spring?

I did have a very hard time taking my sink tray off the counter. I’ve had the tray there for years, so I thought I would change it up. Don’t be surprised if the sink tray makes its way back. 😂 I may add some herbs to my window sill for some fresh green color.

My husband and I are not fancy when it comes to eating dinner. Since it’s just the two of us, we never use the dining room table, but always eat at the kitchen counter.
🥕
There is no reason why we can’t eat fancy at the kitchen counter. I am using my new placemats that I got from @vmathome. They are thick, water, stain resistant and can handle heat up to 350F degrees. I love the color and style of the placemats. They have a wide variety of styles and colors, along with matching table runners.
🥕
I styled my table with bright spring colors that I was inspired by carrots. I still have bunnies on the brain. lol I had fun with this place setting, it’s so nice to have dinner with a little style then having it on a plain plate and paper napkins.
🥕
Have a wonderful weekend!!

Happy March 1st! Everyday is a day closer to Sprin Happy March 1st! Everyday is a day closer to Spring. I looked back last year at this time and my garden was starting to flourish. Boy you should see it now. It’s a big muddy mess. With all the rain and high winds we sure have a huge mess to clean. I can’t wait until we get some warm days. 
🐰
I’m sharing with you one of my favorite vignettes that I created last year. I may have a slight obsession with bunnies. Every year I say no more buying bunnies, but then I end up with a few more in my collection. Lol

Have a beautiful day!
