I found this recipe back in early 2011 when I first discovered Pinterest. It's sat on the back burner for over 3 years, and I finally made these a couple of months ago. They were so good that I probably won't make them again! I mean, I could have ate the entire batch (of like, 40 plus!) but luckily I was having a party and I left most of the eating to everyone else, and just enjoyed 1 or 2!
Ingredients:
1 Pillsbury Devil's Food Cake Mix
1 1/4 cups water
1/2 cup vegetable oil
3 eggs
1 tub Pillsbury Classic White Frosting
50 Maraschino Cherries with stems
16 oz. tempered semi-sweet chocolate (or dark confectionery coating/candy melts)
Start with making your Devil's food cake like normal, with the water, oil and eggs. Put in your preheated oven (350) and bake as directed on the package. Let the cake cool completely.
After it's completely cool, dump cake into large bowl and mix in about half of the frosting. Once mixed, scoop out the mix and roll into balls. Drain cherries and pat dry. Press one cherry into each cake ball. (bringing the mix up over the cherry) and roll into a ball again.
Melt the chocolate and dip each cake covered cherry in the chocolate. Set on non-stick mat. ( I use a Sil-pat mat for basically everything) Refrigerate until set but bring back to room temperature before serving.
And you guys, Hungry Happenings has amazing picture by picture steps of this so check them out if you are unsure of what to do! Or just ask me!
*And one last note* In my picture you'll see white and dark chocolate. That is because I made both and ran out of white and this particular one got double dipped. It just so happened that I cut that one open to take a picture! And for the record, it was delicious!
