Ingredients
Scale
- For the Cherry Bombs:
- 1 cup maraschino cherries, drained
- 1 cup Fireball whiskey
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup water
- For the Coating:
- 1 cup dark chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
Instructions
- In a saucepan, combine 1 cup of water and 1 cup of granulated sugar over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves completely.
- Remove from heat and add 1 cup of Fireball whiskey, mixing well.
- Place the maraschino cherries in a jar and pour the Fireball mixture over them. Seal the jar and refrigerate for at least 24 hours to allow the flavors to meld.
- After marinating, remove the cherries and pat them dry with paper towels.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine 1 cup of dark chocolate chips and 1 tablespoon of coconut oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth and fully melted.
- Dip each cherry into the melted chocolate, allowing excess to drip off, and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Refrigerate the chocolate-covered cherries for about 30 minutes, or until the chocolate is set.
- Serve chilled and enjoy the explosive flavor!
Notes
