3 candied cherry recipes

This cherry cake is studded with almonds and candied cherries. My husbands favorite.

Handmade chocolate-covered cherries soaked overnight in kirsch brandy, then wrapped in a rich truffle mixture of milk and unsweetened chocolate. Rolled in a cocoa-powdered sugar coating for an elegant homemade confection.

Soft almond-scented cake mix cookies studded with candied cherries and topped with a chocolate almond kiss pressed in while still warm. Three dozen in 30 minutes.
