Equipment

wax paper
paper towel
microwave
microwave proof glass bowl

Materials

30 Marshmallows Regular Sized
6 oz. chocolate melts dark blue
30 maraschino cherries with stems

Instructions

Melt the chocolate melts - I usually microwave them for 1 minute, stir and microwave 30 more seconds.
Stir until smooth
Put the wax paper down on your counter grab your paper towel and have that handy
When you're all set...dip one marshmallow at a time into the melted chocolate. Only dip anywhere from 1/3 to 1/2 of the marshmallow into the chocolate
pick up a cherry and dry the outside by placing it in some paper towel and pressing it to dry
Push the cherry into the top center of the melted chocolate
Repeat with each marshmallow

Notes

Expert Tips:

Let the chocolate completely dry before moving them
If your cherries are dripping too much juice, the juice will run down the marshmallow and you'll have a soggy treat

Storing:

These are best when they are fresh. If you plan on making them in advance...I would store these in an airtight container - at room temperature - for up to a few days. I only say a few days because of the cherry. When it dries out, it won't be as yummy.
