I just came across this cute video for making Chocolate Cherry Christmas Creams. They’re made with some pretty basic pantry staples, including chocolate chips, evaporated milk, powdered sugar, and nuts (well, you may need to make a special trip to the store for the maraschino cherries).
I like the idea of making these for friends and family and arranging them on a platter in the shape of a Christmas tree or even a wreath. Dying the coconut red or green is also a nice touch! These would be great for Valentine’s Day, too, come to think of it!

Feel free to let me know if I missed anything or if there’s something you’d …read more
