Chocolate Covered Cherries

Start with Maraschino cherries.

Prepare a simple three-ingredient fondant sugar dough.

Wrap each Maraschino cherry with the fondant sugar dough.

Let the wrapped cherries sit for about a month to allow the sugar to turn into liquid.

Temper the chocolate for dipping (a full-length tutorial is available).

Double dip the cherries in the tempered chocolate for a sturdy shell.

Store the chocolate covered cherries for several weeks to let the magic happen.

Check the cherries at two weeks; they should still be white and creamy inside but starting to break down.

After four weeks, cut into one of the cherries to check the liquid center.
