Honestly, I thought it would be easier. I ended up with a mess! Cherries everywhere! 😂
I tried this but the chocolate wouldn’t melt! What did I do wrong? Do I really need the coconut oil?
Yummy!!! Just divine! Or maybe I just really love chocolate 🤷♀️
These cherries are so delectable! I made them for a party and they disappeared in seconds!
Glad you liked them! They really are a crowd-pleaser.
