By the sound of their name you'd think these bites were blissful because of some cherry liquor wrapped up inside. But no. These golfballs of chocolate and cherries are scrumptious simply on their own merit of flavor. I will confess to taking this combo from another website and making them for my own personal joy. After seeing my beloved's smiling face while eating them I had to share the idea.
Any pitted cherries will do. I used maraschino cherries.
Any brownie recipe or brownie box recipe will work. I would suggest making brownies that are extra moist and chewy.
And any melted chocolate is suitable, even white chocolate. I used semi-sweet dark chocolate which is my favorite.
After they had been assembled I cooled mine in the refrigerator for about 20 minutes.
But this was not the end. We further played with these dream balls by adding squirts of whip cream and frosting to the top, squishing mint and caramel flavored ice-cream in between two of them, and last but not least the new fad of adding bacon around them. (This bacon chocolate combo might be as old as dirt but I've only discovered it recently on the cooking shows.) These experiments led me to the conclusion that caramel should be a permanent ingredient. Maybe just by drizzling it over the top.
I dare you to try your own.
With lots of sugar,
Connie
