How to Make Cherry Snowballs Candy
- Gently cut each cherry halfway through to create a slit for opening.
- Place a small pea-sized ball of marzipan into the center of each cherry.
- Carefully press the cherry halves back together, ensuring the marzipan is securely enclosed.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt 8 ounces of white chocolate in 30-second intervals, stirring well after each interval, until completely smooth and melted.
- Dip each cherry into the melted white chocolate, ensuring it's fully coated.
- Place the chocolate-covered cherries onto a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Refrigerate for 15-20 minutes to allow the chocolate to set.
- Repeat steps 4-6 using the remaining 8 ounces of white chocolate. Refrigerate for another 15-20 minutes.
- While the chocolate is still slightly soft but not fully set, roll each candy in the sweetened shredded coconut until fully coated.
- Place the coconut-covered candies back onto the parchment paper and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or until the chocolate is completely hardened.
