Would make this again.
Yummy, kids loved em, grandparents loved em, they go fast! My tips, add the 2TBSP cherry juice otherwise no dough. Chill dough before making the balls. Top chocolate with Christmas sprinkles! five stars

I don't know what I did wrong, but the dough was only enough for half the cherries. I'd like to see a picture of these cookies to see if mine look right. three stars
