I'm not a big fan of cherry chewbilees, but I made them for my kids and they loved them. I guess they're an acquired taste.

These cherry chewbilees were a bit too tart for my taste. I think I'll add a little more sugar next time.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my cherry chewbilees turned out really dry. I think I might have overcooked them.

These cherry chewbilees were a bit too chewy for my taste. I think I'll try cooking them for a shorter amount of time next time.

I didn't have any cherries on hand, so I used strawberries instead. They turned out great! I think I might even like them better than cherry chewbilees.
