Once the chocolate has set up, you’ll put them in an airtight container in the fridge. After a few days, the fondant around the cherries inside has a chance to soften and liquefy a bit.
For the cherries
1, 16-ounce jar stem-on Amarena cherries in syrup, drained OR 2, 8-ounce jars stem-on maraschino cherries, drained
For the fondant
2 1/3 cups sifted confectioners sugar
1/2 stick unsalted butter, softened (I use butter from pasture-raised cows. Cultured butter is also good!)
1/2 tsp sea salt
1 Tbsp heavy whipping cream
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
For the chocolate coating
2 cups high-quality semi-sweet chocolate OR dark chocolate OR milk chocolate
2 Tbsp unsalted butter
Notes
If Amarena cherries are unavailable, substitute maraschino
