Chocolate candies with cherries

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 30 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   The ingredients we need. For chocolate, I used 100 g of milk and 50 g of black (76% cocoa), I had savoiardi cookies, but any other shortbread would do. You may need more or less cherry juice, a lot depends on the type of cookies.

2. STEP 2

   

   Melt the chocolate together with the butter.

3. STEP 3

   

   In the bowl of a blender, grind the cookies into crumbs. Add cocoa, melted chocolate and cherry juice (it is better to add it in parts). Mix everything thoroughly.

4. STEP 4

   

   We get wet crumbs. Try it, if it molds well, then you can form sweets, and if there is not enough moisture, add cherry juice or aromatic alcohol.

5. STEP 5

   

   We form candies from the chocolate mass, hiding a cherry inside each (if you like candies a la drunken cherries, then you can fill the cherries with cognac or rum in the evening). Roll the finished candies in cocoa powder. Instead of cocoa, you can use powdered sugar (for those who like it sweeter) or cover it with chocolate.

6. STEP 6

   

   Place the sweets in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.

7. STEP 7

   

   You can serve. Bon appetit!

Irisha, you are our confectioner, well, your sweets always turn out very cute, these ones are also apparently tender, and the cherry just played the role of a little surprise here, what a clever girl!

I also liked these sweets!!! I understand that they taste like potato cake? I made something similar to these, only in the form of cakes and instead of savoiardi I used a sponge cake that I had baked the day before. Shurochka, I agree with you: Irisha’s recipes are delicious, the photos are bright and beautiful, the cooked dishes just beg to be eaten!!!

Shura, Anna, thank you very much! Anna, the candies are slightly similar to potatoes, but only as a base, but cherries and the cherry juice itself give a completely different taste; I would even say that the candies turn out juicy))

Anna, I’ll wait for the report, I forgot to specify in the recipe that I used not just cherry juice, but cherry syrup from canned cherries

Yummy!!! I used cherries infused with cognac and cherry syrup from cherries canned in their own juice. I took regular cookies, there were a few Yubileiny ones lying around, just enough in weight. Probably, with biscuit cookies the taste will be completely different, but this is also an option. Very, very tasty! I made the sprinkles from a mixture of cocoa and powdered sugar and sprinkled them on the candies after letting them sit for 30 minutes. in a refrigerator. Cocoa does not melt when cold, and they look beautiful. I have a cherry with a pit. I didn’t delete it because... I planned to insist on cognac (it will absorb less alcohol). Therefore, the candies turned out to be larger, and the quantity was correspondingly smaller - 12 pieces. More like small cakes. IRISHA, THANK YOU so much for such a wonderful recipe!!!
