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

CHOCOLATE COVERED CHERRIES
These are delicious cherries. It's best to let the candies ripen for 1 to 2 weeks, as they keep getting better and better with time. If you can't wait that long, it's understandable! :-)

HOLIDAY CHOCOLATE COVERED CHERRIES
I make these every year for Christmas goodies and my husband hides them from everybody! They take about two weeks for the centers to get soft. This is a Southern Living recipe that's at least 20 years old. When you buy the cherries check the servings in the jar. You need 50 cherries, give or take a few.

- Drain the cherries; pat dry on paper towels, and set aside.
- In mixer bowl beat butter, corn syrup, and salt until well combined.
