CHOCOLATE COVERED CHERRY BROWNIE BOMBS RECIPE - (4/5)

Number Of Ingredients 4
Steps:
- Make brownies and bake according to directions on the box. Let cool completely. DO NOT OVERCOOK. Crumble the brownies and mix in about 3/4 cup of chocolate frosting. If you've made cake pops before, you want a similar consistency. Add more frosting a little at a time if you need to until you have the right consistency (stays together easily, but isn't too sticky) to roll into balls. Start with about 1 tablespoon of brownie/frosting mixture. Form into a ball, then make a hole in the middle to drop one cherry from the pie filling into. Use a little more the brownie/frosting mixture if needed to seal the cherry in. Place balls in freezer for about 20 minutes. While they are hardening in the freezer, melt the chocolate chips. You may use more or less depending on how heavily you coat the balls. After removing the balls from the freezer, keep them in the refrigerator while taking one out at a time and dropping into the melted chocolate, tap off the excess chocolate and place on wax paper for them to dry completely.
Tips:
- Select ripe and plump cherries: Choose unblemished cherries that are deep red in color and have a firm texture. Avoid cherries that are soft or have bruises.
- Pit the cherries: Use a cherry pitter to remove the pits from the cherries. If you don't have a cherry pitter, you can use a sharp knife to cut around the pit and then pop it out with your fingers.
- Use fresh or frozen cherries: You can use either fresh or frozen cherries to make cherry bombs. Frozen cherries should be thawed before using.
- Adjust the amount of sugar to your taste: The amount of sugar in the recipe can be adjusted to your personal preference. If you like your cherry bombs sweeter, add more sugar. If you prefer them less sweet, use less sugar.
- Use a candy thermometer to monitor the temperature of the sugar syrup: This will help you ensure that the syrup reaches the correct temperature for making cherry bombs.
- Let the cherry bombs cool completely before serving: This will help them to set and firm up.
Conclusion:
Cherry bombs are a delicious and easy-to-make candy that is perfect for any occasion. They are made with just a few simple ingredients and can be customized to your own taste. With a little practice, you can make perfect cherry bombs that will impress your friends and family.
