[@stephaniepierce445]

Ribbon candy means Christmas to me. Jan those chocolate covered cherries look yummy.

[@alexiscain4722]

Jan you are such a breath of fresh air! I love your humbleness, your simple pleasures in life, your “down to earthiness”, just couldn’t better than that! My mama will be 95 this next June-an old Ky, no nonsense kind of a gal that has the biggest kind & generous heart of anybody I’ve ever met! You have soooo many of her qualities! God bless you & your family-you are a precious jewel with a heart of gold❤️

[@smileseye6416]

[@darlene9145]

A candy I only make at Christmas time is Bourbon Balls. I saw Phyllis Stokes video making Chocolate Covered Cherries yesterday, now yours today so I'm craving them now 😁 Way past Christmas, but I can give them out on Valentines Day ❤️ I really enjoy your videos. Thank you for sharing with us.

I love you and your videos Ms Jan. You just put such a sweet smile on my face. I guess you remind me of women in life who loved me when I was growing up. I am 66 and you still remind me of being a young girl. Thank you sweetheart and bless you in everything you put your hand to 💗😘

[@katmd405]

Can’t wait to try these. These are my favorite candies no matter what time of year. Thanks for sharing!

[@rebeccajustis8826]

Ever since I met my husband of 26 years, Christmas doesn't begin for me 'til he buys me a box of Queen Anne chocolate-covered cherries. I can''t wait to try making them myself, & the fudge you make with them!

[@mommabear4543]

I’ve never seen cherries done like this! I’ve only seen it dipped in the chocolate not a dough before that! Wow I just learned a really neat idea! Thank you so much!

[@gailcoffey4950]

[@kellydunn4344]

[@cynthiablackwell5700]

[@kitsnow5307]

I think a Christmas tree and a nice turkey with the works and sugar cookies with apple pie. This looks delicious, my son loves chocolate covered cherries these look good i will make them.

[@ScienceNotFaith]

Love the antlers - cute! I"m doing the same (adding lights) to a pair I bought at the dollar store.

[@cathymain8436]

Never saw this before thank you

[@lindawolf4766]

Beautiful job Jan , looks yummy.

[@happyguy7005]

Look fantastic!!

[@barbarsaloe4562]

Beautiful!!!

[@SissyB-123]

My friend and I made these one year. The are so good! You've inspired me to do them again. Thanks Jan, love your videos.

[@leadmetopeacejeanie]

Hi Jan - this looks so yummy! I think I always think about fudge at Christmas. But I'm making this too! Love you! Jeanie

[@lslates2]

Thank you for the hint about draining the cherries, several times. It helps so much to actually see some one do it, instead of just reading a written recipe. Usually the recipes sound like you have to have so much special equipment. You showed how to do it in your home kitchen!

[@lilamydogscruffy8842]

Hello Jan. These look so good and very pretty in the cups. I bet they taste good. Tfs your recipe. Happy Baking. Tfs. :)

[@nancyfulford2746]

Hi Jan, I love chocolate covered cherries and it's so sweet of you to share with us. I think your new tool was more meant to work with cherries that don't have stems.

[@jeannievail]

Cordial Cherries are my all time favorite. I’ve never made them but I wanna try making your recipe next Christmas. Thanks!

[@correjck]

Looks just fabulous!! Gonna make some for my daughter!!

[@theshryocks3367]

thank you so much for sharing this I have read many recipes but have never seen anyone do it to understand it fully. I'm usually a baker so I figured I would probably mess it up. I am a little more confident now that you've explained and showed how to make these yummy treats! Happy holidays to you and yours Jan!!

[@cindyh8841]

Those look so pretty and delicious! :) Yummy! :)

[@annmcneal7582]

Love the antlers!

[@jellykules]

Those look delish!!!!! I make those but we put coconut flakes and sweetened condensed milk instead of flour and we also add almond extract, we don't use the stem in ours but I love the idea of the stem it looks to work out better to dip that way... Thanks Jan... LOVE your videos

[@tinarlowe2251]

These looks so good, will have to try.. Every Christmas my grandchildren ages 20-24 request pb fudge and Buckeyes.

[@joannea2647]

Mmmmmmmmm looks so good i will have to try this thanks for sharing

[@molliejonte2732]

Well, I wasn't planning on making candy, but this video has inspired me. I absolutely love chocolate covered cherries, now I can make have them all year round !!' Thank you!!

[@karenmanning5915]

Hi Jan. I've been enjoying watching your older videos, looking forward to the upcoming holidays. I've been missing you lately and am hoping all is well with you and your family. I hope to see you soon in a new video. Blessings to you and yours.

[@beatorres6871]

Fudge, thank you ma'am blessings. They look delicious

[@spacecase8791]

Loved the recipe Jan. Might have to actually give this one a try. When I think of Christmas, I automatically think of fudge. My husband calls Christmas season "fudge season" as it's his favorite thing in the world and I have to make it throughout December haha.

[@Stinkerlicious]

I have a couple fudge recipes I hope to do in my holiday baking series. Fudge is a big Christmas candy. Thank you so much for watching. :)

[@spacecase8791]

Jan Creson Can't wait! 😊

[@claysdee]

Casey Thompson...me too! My mama made buttermilk fudge and it was a favorite in our family. I haven't been able to get the hang of that one...it's hit or miss and mostly miss. 😣 My family does love my chocolate and chocolate/peanut butter fudge. I recently made the peanut butter one recently for my grandson who was about to leave for boot camp after joining tje army.

[@Deborah4Antiques]

They look beautiful Jan.

[@hopenoneya8161]

After draining the cherries put into a bowl then sprinkle on 1/2 cup of powdered sugar and shake the bowl to cover the cherries. Add a little more powdered sugar to cover do the same again. This helps with the dough adhering to the cherry.

[@rosemiller8425]

Awsome Jan, thanks for sharing

[@jeannierusso2134]

Hello Ellen thank you for that nice tip about spraying your measuring spoons I would have never thought about that that's a great idea. I will try it. .🥰👍😁🥄🥄🥄🥄🥄

[@momgrandma5496]

My Mom has passed, but we always looked forward to her famous date and nut bread at Christmas. 🎄

[@cynthiarogers1395]

I'll definitely make these thank you

[@itsjustrenee1320]

My grandma used to mix a little butter with karo syrup on her plate after meals and eat it on a biscuit for dessert. I hadn't thought of that for years until I saw you make this recipe.

[@carolecook1116]

🍘 At Cracker Barrel, if don't want big dessert or can't afford, they'll bring free biscuits &🍯honey for you.

[@D31taD4wn]

Awesome Jan. Love this recipe. Will have too try it. Thanks and God Bless. **Happy Holidays** to you and your Family Jan.

[@Irish18254]

Thank you so much for posting this video. I am tired of making fudge for christmas. I have a new treat for everyone this year!

[@patriciacoulter3587]

My favorite is No Bake Fruit Cake. That's what my Mamaw always made. Have you ever made those? I can't wait to try this recipe. You have the best hints. I am thankful for you every day. Merry Christmas.

[@deannapipkin5149]

I love Chocolate Fudge without nuts. Yummy.. It's what I think of, when I think of Christmas candy.

[@mollysmith6055]

Yay, Jan! I was busy all day baking and doing Christmas candies because there is flu/illness in the family and I wanted to get it done while I was still well. Wish I'd seen this before because I'd totally have tried this! This video is definitely getting saved to do soon! My daughter loves choc covered cherries and there is a jar of organic-y type marschino cherries in the pantry just waiting to be used. I know she'll flip over this. Those Wilton dipping tools are good for things like basic balls or stuff that you can't handle easily like the stem on these cherries. You made these candies look easy enough for me to do them. Thank you! I hope the virus passes me by and that I'll be making them soon.

[@Stinkerlicious]

I hope you get to make these. They are so delicious! I tried the dipping tool on another candy I made and it worked great and made dipping time go a lot faster. I hope the virus passes you by too! Thank you so much for watching. :)

[@tinagrady8242]

Homemade chocolate covered cherries yum

[@tudywittlake1072]

I have never made these,but I'm sure going to try them. Fruit cake means Christmas to me. Mine have been made and soaking in rum cheese cloth since nov first. Merry Christmas.

[@SusanDedden]

I've been patiently waiting for this video. Thank you so much for this video! I'm going to get my sister to help me make these for presents. Hugs and prayers

[@Stinkerlicious]

You should have told me to get on the ball girl! These are going to be great gifts. Have fun making them. Thanks for watching and Merry Christmas. Hugs!

[@Barbwaco1]

how many would you give for a present Susan or Han

[@shawnsisler3743]

I'd take a couple of pounds, or a ton or two... Do you know me? You could if it gets me on the chocolate cherry list, I make a mean lasagna.. :D

[@mariek8578]

I've been looking for a recipe for chocolate covered cherries and I think your vanilla coffee creamer is brilliant!!! I'm gonna try your recipe this year, 2020. I froze my own cherries this summer for just this moment. I've always wanted to make these but never knew how! Store brands are okay but nothing beats homemade! I make an assortment of goodies to give to my neighbors & friends. I liked the cute idea of putting them in papers!! Thank you Jan for sharing your wisdom! Merry Christmas!!❤

[@Lee-fb4oj]

I always associated a combination of three candies with Christmas--putting candy canes aside--chocolate covered cherries, raspberry jelly rings and after eight dinner mints--sometimes substituted by peppermint patty's--you have so much patience to make homemade--you used big good quality cherries yum!!

[@TexasRose50]

I made another comment, but it didn't post. Wanted to thank you for such nice recipes and videos! Bless you.

[@donettefreeman8300]

I use vanilla coffee creamer instead of water when I bake cakes, and it tastes delicious!

[@carolecook1116]

🌰Oh hazelnut flavored too!

[@chelsiesisco8739]

did you make a video showing what they were like a few days later when the syrup formed

[@pattyfowler4678]

Yummy 😋 Thanks ❤️

[@peggykey4408]

Yummy! I wish I’d known about these before my mama died. She LOVED dark chocolate covered cherries with the cordial liquid inside & they’re hard to find. I could have made them for her. I adore your channel. Merry Christmas!

[@christineculbertson3196]

I love Chocolate Covered Cherries! I love your t-shirt!

[@conniejackson5065]

Looks great Jan!!

[@vixxcottage]

I love my grandma's fruit cake. Have made choc covered cherries before. Love them

[@SuperTamig]

Vicki Bevington ewww fruit cake

[@warmfluffysocks1404]

Christmas? Candy canes & the annual box of Sees Candy. Those are my lifetime favorite Christmas candy treats. :)

[@GlitterME]

Def chocolate covered cherries and candy canes as classic Christmas candies

[@bowman0416]

Rocky Road Fudge my Mom would make that and Christmas fudge which was white with green and red cherries in it

[@nancyletteer3170]

Jan they are beautiful!

[@nativerosenativerose8549]

I would love to take one off the pan there😁 yummy

[@ritabrown2226]

Gorgeous! 🥀🥀🥀

[@themandigirl]

The cherries look delicious! I always think of divinity and fudge along with chocolate covered cherries at Christmas. Oh...and those chocolate covered Orange Sticks!

[@Stinkerlicious]

I'm going to make divinity soon. It is my sisters favorite holiday candy. Thank you so much for watching. :)

[@melanielyons2659]

Thank you for this, I've always wondered how they were made! I make the cracker candy you've made a video for as well as Martha Washington Balls and Divinity for Christmas.

[@sandpebble54spencer63]

Jan, try spraying the spoon w/ Pam and then the corn syrup will release easier. Works in measuring cups too. ( honey or other syrups release easier as well). I wonder if a baking screen rack might help so you can drizzle choc over and catch the extra below on parchment to be used again. Enuf drizzled over should flow to the bottom of each cherry to be placed over to dry? Those finished cherries look so yummy!

[@patmitchell2389]

Wow your candy looks amazing

[@shane193]

The dippin tool is to rake off the excess
