I have been making these for years. I use white chocolate to dip them in and to stuff in the cherries too. I have found the white chocolate tastes better. They are a bit time consuming but they are worth it. Make sure you drain and dry out the cherries before you use them. I usually start those the night before and lay them out on paper towels on a baking sheet and let them dry overnight. If they are too wet still the dough will get too wet and will fall apart.

Very yummy! We used hot fudge to drip on top instead of regular chocolate and won a baking contest with them!
