Ingredients:
- 1 (10 oz) jar maraschino cherries with stems
- ¼ cup peppermint schnapps
- 5 oz white chocolate melting discs
- ¼ cup finely crushed peppermint candies (10–12 candies)
Instructions:
- Remove the lid from the cherry jar and drain out ⅓ cup of cherry juice (keep the cherries in the jar).
- Add ¼ cup peppermint schnapps to the jar. Replace the lid and refrigerate 1 hour to overnight—the longer they soak, the stronger the flavor.
- Remove cherries and pat them very dry with paper towels.
- Line a tray with parchment paper.
- Melt the white chocolate in the microwave at 50% power, heating in 30-second intervals and stirring until smooth.
- Holding each cherry by the stem, dip ¾ of it into the melted chocolate.
- Immediately dip the bottom into the crushed peppermint candy. Place on the tray with stems upright.
- Chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes before serving.
