CHOCOLATE-COVERED CHERRIES



Chocolate-Covered Cherries image

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

FESTIVE CHERRYETTES

This is my dad's favorite Christmas cookie. It is on the order of a shortbred cookie. I absolutely hate nuts but you don't really taste them in this cookie. I put the nuts in my blend and ground them fine.
