Making truffles is easier than you think! All you need is some cream cheese, melted semi sweet chocolate chips, graham cracker crumbs, chopped dried cherries, and white or dark chocolate for dipping. Mix it all together and roll into balls before dipping in the melted chocolate.
The combination of sweet and tart cherries coated in rich, decadent chocolate is one that never goes out of style. Whether it's boxes of candies or delicious homemade treats, Chocolate Covered Cherry Day is the perfect time to indulge your taste buds in this classic confection!
