Prep Time 30 minutes
Total Time 30 minutes
Servings 12

Ingredients

  • 12 Maraschino Cherries with stems drained
  • 1/2 cup Light Cocoa Candy Melts
  • 12 Hersheys Kisses unwrapped
  • 24 Almond slices
  • 1/8 cup White Candy Melts

Instructions

  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Melt light cocoa candy melts in microwave or in double boiler.
  • Holding a cherry by the stem, dip in the melted chocolate, rolling to coat completely.
  • Allow excess chocolate to drain off and lay cherry on its side on the parchment.
  • Place an chocolate kiss on chocolate coated cherry (candy flat side against the end opposite the stem end of a cherry)
  • Gently insert 2 almond slices between the cherry and the kiss candy to create ears.
  • Place in refrigerator for a 5 minutes and allow to cool and set.
  • Melt white candy melts in microwave or in double boiler.
  • Using toothpick, gather up small bit of melted white chocolate and paint on each eye.
  • Allow chocolate to set.
  • * If the Kiss candy or almonds doesn't stick well, it's likely that the chocolate dried too much or there's not enough. Just dab a little chocolate on the Kiss/almonds and place it on that way.
