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,

I’m still working in my dining room and I wanted to share my new reversible sign that I got from @krumpetshomedecor. It’s a beautiful 24x9 sign that I thought it would be perfect in my dining room.

I love sitting around the table with friends and family and tell stories, laugh, play games and have a good time. I thought the side of the sign that says “Enjoy Every Moment” was perfect.

One of the things I added was my new bedding that I got from @lushdecorhome. Let me tell you, it is so luxurious. This is the 3 piece Belgian Flax Linen Rich Cotton Blend Bedspread. It is so soft and gets softer with each wash. 
💕
I have a tall bed and the ruffles just reaches the floor. The bedding is filled with cotton that gives the bedspread such a comfy feel. The bedspread is perfect for the summer, as it is lightweight, but warm enough to keep you cozy in the winter. The set comes with two pillow shams and the bedspread. It also comes in 4 colors. 
💕
I love my new bedding, it’s so feminine and simply beautiful. I couldn’t be happier. Swipe the photo to see how happy Sully is on the bedding.

Hi Everyone! I shared the reel to my Summertime ta Hi Everyone! I shared the reel to my Summertime tablescape with @JCPenney + #AllAtJCP + #sponsored +#ShoppingIsBack but you know how I love still photos better. I think you can really see the details of the decor.

💛

I am loving how simple, fresh and light my tablescape feels. It’s the perfect look I was going for. When the idea came for creating a tablescape, I was unclear of what direction I was going for until I shopped at JCPenney. I walked around the decor department and was completely inspired. They had so many styles and colors that would inspire you too.

💛

I saved a highlight of my shopping trip to JCPenney. You must check it out. I’ll be honest, I was blown away by the styles, quality and prices of there store. I will be shopping there quite frequently and you know I will take you along my journey.

💛

What is the style of your home?

💛

PS. Everything on my table is from JCPenney and it is the Linden Street Collection.

My inspiration was my new pillows that I got from @downlitebedding. The name of the pillow says it all “Ahhhhhmazing™ down alternative pillow” and they are amazing.
🐾
The pillows are so soft, plush and are hypoallergenic. They are easily molded so you position your neck, head and arms. The pillows are also washable and OEKO-TEX® Certified Textiles Are Certified Free Of Harmful Chemicals. 
🐾
I’ll be honest, Downlite Bedding are the only pillows that I sleep with. They are fabulous and will last for years. I highly recommend them. They won’t disappoint you. Downlite Bedding was nice enough to give my followers a 20% off discount code to there shop: DYGEN20.

Hello! I have to tell you that I love summer. It’s my favorite season. I love the sun, hot weather, shirts and flip flops. I could just spend all day outside.
🌻
One of my favorite things to do in the summer besides gardening is going to the Farmers Market. There is something about the atmosphere with people walking around with bags in hand, the smell of kettle corn and everyone is so happy. 
🌻
Besides the atmosphere, you can’t beat the freshly grown produce. It’s mind blowing how different it tastes, then what you get in the store. You almost forget what a strawberry is suppose to taste like until have it at the Farmers Market. Plus you are supporting your community. It’s a good feeling all around. 
🌻
I highly recommend going to the Farmers Market and pick up so corn. Soooooo good!! Stock up on your fruits and veggies and freeze it for winter.

I’m sharing with you my last photo of my peonies. I’m so sad that they didn’t last. I got about 6 days from them. I guess that’s means I need to go to Trader Joe’s and get more before peony season is over.

Do you have any summer vacation scheduled this year?

Happy Monday!! It’s back to work for me. I’ll Happy Monday!! It’s back to work for me. I’ll be counting down to my next vacation, which will be the week of the 4th of July. I will tell you, it felt so nice not having any plans and doing work in the garden.
🌻
This weekend I finally made it to the Farmers Market and I picked up these amazing sunflowers. They are such a happy flower. 
🌻
When I got them, I couldn’t resist doing a flowers in the sink photo. I haven’t done one of these since Fall. Now I may have to go back to the Farmers Market next weekend because they had so many flowers and most were only $4.00 a bundle.

Happy Friday! My vacation is officially over and I Happy Friday! My vacation is officially over and I pretty much spent the whole week working in my garden, so I apologize for all the flower photos. 
🌸
This is a view of my fenced in garden. The flowers on the left are zinnias, and next to them is beardtongue and in the background, butterfly bush.  In about a month or so, this background will pop with lots of orange from my Mexican sunflower and yellow from the black eyed susan. I just hope my black eyed susan’s make it. They are struggling. 
🌸
I have to say I have been enjoying working in the garden. It’s therapy to me. It just makes me feel good to sit back and see all your hard work start to bloom. I can’t wait to see what the garden looks like a month.
🌸
What do you like to do that you consider your therapy?
