Chocolate-covered cherries are a popular confection made by coating whole cherries in a layer of chocolate. Typically, the cherries are pitted and may be soaked in liqueur or syrup to enhance their flavor before being dipped in melted chocolate. These treats can be made with dark, milk, or white chocolate, depending on personal preference. They are often enjoyed as a sweet snack or dessert and are commonly found in gift boxes during holidays and special occasions. The combination of the juicy cherry and rich chocolate creates a delightful contrast in taste and texture.
