- Set out a piece of wax paper on your work surface
- Take out 24 cherries and place them on a paper towel to absorb excess moisture and help them stick to the chocolate a little better
- Place 1 pretzel in the melted chocolate and use your fork to press it down so it is completely covered in chocolate
- Use the fork to lift the chocolate pretzel up
- *While it is still over the bowl of chocolate, tap the fork on the edge of the bowl – releasing excess chocolate from the pretzel
- Transfer the pretzel to the wax paper and carefully slide it off of the fork onto the paper
- *if that is too tricky, you can use a toothpick to push it off of the fork
- Immediately place a cherry on the bottom of the chocolate pretzel
- Repeat until you are finished with each pretzel
- Although, they are best served within a couple of days – You can store these in an airtight container – in a cool dry place – for up to 1 week before your party. The only part you’ll have to worry about is the cherry loosing moisture over time
