CHOCOLATE COVERED CHERRIES - SIMPLE STYLE
These Cherries are great. They are made with Marshmallow creme instead of condensed milk. They are very easy to make - especially if you've never tried to make them before! My mother in law passed the recipe on to me and they are very rich - but very good! A perfect valentines day treat.

CHOCOLATE-COVERED CHERRIES
Not only is this my family's favorite festive dessert, but it makes a delicious holiday present, too. Best of all, you can (and should) prepare these ahead. The candy gets better as it's stored, with the centers becoming even juicier. -Linda Hammerich, Bonanza, Oregon
