Not only is this my family's favorite festive dessert, but it makes a delicious holiday present, too. Best of all, you can prepare these ahead. The candy just gets better as it's stored, with the centers becoming even juicier. —Linda Hammerich, Bonanza, Oregon

I made these twice, and both times, they were gone almost immediately (with requests for more!!!) MUCH better than the store-bought ones!

I have made these yummy bites every Thanksgiving since they were first published in the Country Woman magazine years ago. My family literally yelled the one year I thought I'd change my traditional menu of Holiday Treats. I haven't made that mistake in 15 years.

This recipe is very easy to make. The most important thing is to make sure there is no juice left in the center of the cherries when you pat them dry. My family absolutely loves this recipe. Although they do taste better if stored in the refrigerator. I will make this one often.

These are so great! Beautiful and delicious, they turned out perfect. Just make sure cherries are WELL drained, as indicated. Thank you Linda!
