Chocolate Covered Maraschino Cherries with Macadamia Nuts

It is officially that time of year again!  I love the holidays if only because I can do some major guilt-free indulgence before crashing back down to reality in January!  This recipe is in honor of my father who absolutely loves chocolate covered cherries!  The macadamia nuts provide a real nice twist to this candy that makes it a huge hit!

Maraschino-Cherries

It all starts with maraschino cherries.  You can either make your own or simply buy them at your local grocery store.  I opted for a brandy soaked version because – hey, why not?

Chopped-Chocolate

In order to get that nice hard candy shell you are going to have to tempur your chocolate.  Now before you start getting sweaty palms, let me assure you – tempuring chocolate is an incredibly easy task.  And once you learn how to do it, you will become addicted.  I used the left over chocolate in this recipe to coat some raisins and hazelnuts!

It all starts with chopping some good quality chocolate.  I would provide you with a lesson on tempuring chocolate but I just don’t think I could describe it as well and as eloquently as my friends over at TheKitchn.com.  Check out their recipe on tempuring chocolate without the use of a thermometer here.

After tempuring your chocolate the rest is easy peasy… just dip your cherries in the chocolate, lay them on a sheet of parchment paper and sprinkle with some chopped macadamia nuts…. and viola you have chocolate covered cherries sprinkled with macadamia nuts!  A delicious candy that you can make for you next holiday party.
