How Long Will the Boozy Cherry Bombs Last?

When stored correctly, they can last up to a week in the refrigerator, although they're best enjoyed fresh.

Can I Use Different Types of Chocolate?

Absolutely! While white chocolate is traditional, explore using milk or dark chocolate for diverse flavors.

Since the recipe includes peppermint schnapps, it’s best to keep these treats for adult consumption.

Yes! You can substitute the peppermint schnapps with a non-alcoholic peppermint extract.

Consider adding edible glitter or using colored chocolate for a more festive look during the holidays!

Remove the lid from the jar of maraschino cherries (save the lid) and drain out ¼ cup of the juice, leaving cherries in the jar.
Add ¼ cup peppermint schnapps to the jar, replace the lid, and refrigerate for 1 hour (or up to overnight) to let cherries soak.
After soaking, remove cherries from the jar and place them on paper towels, patting them dry thoroughly.
Line a rimmed tray with parchment paper and set aside.
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the white chocolate discs: microwave for 30 seconds to 1 minute at 50% power, stir, then microwave an additional 15–30 seconds or until smooth (stirring between increments).
Hold a dry cherry by the stem and dip about ¾ of it into the melted white chocolate.
Dip the bottom of the chocolate-coated cherry into the crushed peppermint candies; place on the prepared tray, stem pointing up. Repeat with remaining cherries.
Place the tray in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to chill before serving.

Ensure cherries are thoroughly dry before dipping for better chocolate adherence.
