Recipe Instructions
Step 1
Pour sugar into a shallow dish; add 2 drops vanilla at a time in 24 separate places to form lumps of vanilla sugar. Set aside to allow lumps to harden.
Step 2
Meanwhile, carefully pit cherries from the bottom. Make sure stems stay intact.
Step 3
Insert 1 hardened lump sugar into 1 cherry where pit was; repeat with remaining sugar lumps and cherries. Set aside.
Step 4
Place chocolate in a microwave-safe dish; microwave until melted and smooth, stirring every 30 seconds.
Step 5
Dip cherries into melted chocolate, holding cherries by the stems, leaving the very tops undipped; set dipped cherries on waxed paper to dry, then refrigerate to allow sugar lumps to dissolve, 8 hours to overnight.
